Bernie Sanders is starting to SURGE against Hillary Clinton at the exact right time

In a poll out Tuesday, Sanders was even ahead of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton among likely Democratic caucusgoers in Iowa.

The Quinnipiac University survey found Sanders with 49% support to Clinton's 44% in Iowa.

"Sen. Sanders' surge seems based on the perception by Iowa Democrats that he is a better fit for Iowans," Brown added. "They see him, by solid double-digit margins, as more sharing their values, more honest and trustworthy, and viewed more favorably overall than is Secretary Clinton."

Meanwhile, Sanders is doing even better in New Hampshire, which borders his home state of Vermont. A Monmouth University poll, also released Tuesday, gave Sanders a 14-point lead over Clinton among voters likely to participate in the New Hampshire Democratic primary.
