Hillary Clinton holds a three-point edge over Senator Bernie Sanders in Iowa, a tightening of the race with roughly three weeks until voting begins, according to a new set of surveys of likely voters from NBC/The Wall Street Journal/Marist.

In the Republican contest, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has 28 percent of support and Donald J. Trump has 24 percent in Iowa, but Mr. Trump maintains a commanding 16-point lead over Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, his closest competitor, in New Hampshire, the surveys show.

Mr. Rubio is in third place in Iowa at 13 percent, with Ben Carson at 11 percent. The other candidates are at 5 percent or less in the state.

against all the top republicans ( Jeb!, Trump, Cruz, and Rubio) than Clinton does in both IA and NH. We need to spread this far and wide! It appears to me that Bernie is the most electable one in the race.

The more people hear him, the more support he gets. The higher his numbers climb, the more coverage he'll get, the more people will hear him, the more support he'll get - it's an unstoppable viscous circle!

Go Bernie! The 99% has your back!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

of New Hampshire Republican primary voters think Ben Carson would make a good president.

Same thought for the rest of the Pukes' lineup in their respective percentages, but I wanted to make a special effort to pick on Ben Carson this time.

Perilously close vote -- close enough to steal -- and the far Right Justices knew how to pick it up from there.

Dubya, for as poorly as he did those very long 8 years, still had approximately that same percentage of support.

thanks to their compliance with the Bernie Blackout. They have no favors to call in, no chips to cash, no leads and no inside sources.....

in fact, they have nada. Just a bunch of has-been losers.
