A Tidal Wave Of Good News In Iowa: Hillary Clinton Soaring and Obama Beloved by DemocratsBy: Sarah Jones
Monday, June, 1st, 2015, 11:48 am
Hillary Clinton remains the overwhelming favorite among Iowa Democrats looking ahead to next years presidential caucuses, though Bernie Sanders has quickly risen as Elizabeth Warrens proxy for the anti-establishment . Seventy-one percent said that the Clintons were getting a bad rap.
It also means that there is nothing but good news here.

Starting off with asking likely Democratic caucus-goers to rate their feelings from very favorable, mostly favorable, mostly unfavorable, or very unfavorable about prominent Democrats, President Obama topped the list of 89% favorable to 9% unfavorable.
Not to be totally cruel, but Democrats really messed up when they avoided standing with their President in 2014 (and I said it then, too before it was cool). POTUS is beloved by the Democratic base.

If that holds true, Democrats are in for a real treat as Sanders models what the real left looks like (not disrespectful hysteria of the backseaters, but calm, civilized debate grounded in the best interest of the people) and Hillary Clinton introduces folks to her more liberal side, which is not a new side for her but is new to many Democrats.
