Clinton Has 41 Point Lead Over Sanders in Iowa: Monmouth Poll




Hillary Clinton has support of 65% of likely Iowa Democratic caucus-goers, while Bernie Sanders has 24% and Martin O’Malley has 5%, according to first Monmouth University poll since Clinton’s House Benghazi panel appearance and Vice President Joe Biden’s decision not to run.

Clinton is second choice of 68% of Sanders supporters, while 19% say O’Malley would be their second choice
“We now have a two-person race, but one of those competitors has just pulled very far ahead,” says Patrick Murray, director of Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, N.J.
Clinton has 88% favorable rating and 8% unfavorable
Sanders has 77% favorable and 11% unfavorable, O’Malley has 50% favorable and 14% unfavorable
