Hillary Clinton has lost most of her lead over Bernie Sanders in the race to win Iowas Democratic presidential caucuses, a new Iowa Poll shows.
Clinton, who has been the favorite all along, now leads Sanders by just 2 percentage points in The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll. Thats down from 9 percentage points a month ago.
Clinton is now the top choice of 42 percent of likely Democratic caucusgoers, compared with Sanders 40 percent, the poll finds. The polls margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
It shows Bernie is around to stay for sure. Its not a fly-by-night thing, said Grant Woodard, a Des Moines lawyer who has worked for several state and national Democratic campaigns. It really shows were going to have a pretty crazy last few weeks here.
