Related: About this forumHillary Clinton Losing Her National Lead Over Bernie Sanders, Poll Shows
Hillary Clintons strong national lead over Sanders is essentially gone and, instead, the Democratic race is incredibly close, according to a national Quinnipiac poll released today.
Clinton received 44 percent of support while Sanders can boast about 42 percent, his highest support in any national poll to date.
The former secretary of state's 31 point lead over the Vermont senator in December has been fallen to only 2 points.
This new poll was conducted after the Iowa caucuses, when the polls were too close to call Monday night but, finally, Clinton eked out a win over Sanders.

(687 posts)I really think that the Iowa caucus was a case of losing was winning.
Because the vote was so close it showed Sanders is a viable and electable candidate.
The pundits can't say he's un-electable any more. Bernie wins
HRC win in Iowa is so small she can't go around using it as a as a plus in the campaign.
HRC: Hey everyone look how I trounced Bernie by .2%. Bernie wins
Because Bernie lost, HRC can't use the underdog/victim card to get sympathy votes.
Bernie wins
People are now paying attention to what Bernie is saying and comparing the two candidates.
The more people hear Bernie the more they like him.
Bernie wins.
