The NBC/Marist polls also tested seven key issues supporting Common Core, supporting a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, wanting to repeal the federal health-care law, believing that climate change is man-made, opposing gay marriage, favoring raising taxes on the wealthy and wanting to send more U.S. troops to combat ISIS to see which were the most acceptable and unacceptable to voters in these three states.
The most acceptable among all registered voters and Democrats: a candidate who wants to raise taxes on the wealthy.
The least acceptable among all registered voters and Democrats: a candidate who opposes same-sex marriage.
The most acceptable among Republican voters: a candidate who wants to repeal the health-care law.
The least acceptable among Republicans: believing climate change is man-made (in Iowa and South Carolina) and raising taxes on the wealthy (New Hampshire).

Just as Hillary puts fear in the hearts of Republicans, Elizabeth puts fear in the hearts of the status quo money machine. And, if we should be so lucky, Julian Castro will challenge the Good ol' White Boy establishment and further the path to citizenship/immigration and hopefully rally and recharge the Liberals.
All three are solidly behind many of the issues the Republicans fear...ACA, real action on Climate Change and prying a few pennies from the clutches of the wealthy for the culture and society that helped them get their wealth, etc.
I think it's a darn good crew. We could do much worse.

I think vote for Warren because she is a liar is not a good slogan for a campaign.
The NBC/Marist polls did not include Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., in these trial heats because she continues to insist in both the present and future tenses that she won't be running for president in 2016.
All of the possible candidates that the polls measured either have formed committees to explore a run, have begun to hire staff, or at least have left open the possibility of a White House bid.
