Chasing Votes for Hillary Clinton Among Iowa’s Undecided and Indifferent

NEWTON, Iowa — On the coldest day of winter so far, Cindy Pollard skittered up icy walkways in her white nurse’s sneakers, trying to persuade undecided, indifferent and sometimes hostile voters to caucus for Hillary Clinton.

It was not easy.

There was occasional enthusiasm, but more often rejection, and for familiar reasons: Voters raised doubts about Mrs. Clinton’s trustworthiness and her ability to reach across the aisle.

“There’s that dynasty that people talk about,” said Sarah McCuen, a retired mental health administrator who favored Martin O’Malley, a former Maryland governor.

Richard Colbert, a member of the plumbers and steamfitters union, said his wife supported Mrs. Clinton, but that he would caucus for Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

The people are making Hillary work for this, probably a lot harder than she thought she would. That's a good thing. If she ever becomes President, the last thing she should do is put the doubts people have about her on the shelf. She should put them front-and-center every day.
