With 60 percent of the vote among Iowa likely Democratic Caucus participants, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has an early lock on the first-in-the-nation presidential test, apparently undamaged by a nationwide flood of negative publicity, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

This compares to a 61 percent Clinton showing in Iowa in a February 26 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont has 15 percent among Democrats, with 11 percent for Vice President Joseph Biden and 3 percent each for former U.S. Sen. James Webb of Virginia and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley. Another 7 percent are undecided.

Clinton and Biden each get 7 percent on the "no way" list when likely Democratic Caucus participants name a candidate they would "definitely not support." Sanders gets 6 percent.

1. I bet almost all of those Biden voters go to Hillary.

2. Zero MSM Coverage of Bernie - Their Scared #hitless

I turn on the news and it is Hillary, Hillary, Clinton Foundation, Hillary, Hillary. Then a little on the nutjub Republiscums.

Zero news about the fact that 99% of Americans agree with what Bernie has been fighting for his whole political career.

Ask everyone you know if they have donated to Bernie, and if not if they will be happy with a choice between Hillary and a Republican whack job for president.

I will donate some more to Bernie today.

13. So far, officially early Febrary

but somewhere in November states will start playing that "jump to the front game."

So last time it ended up being Jan. 2 - ruined my New Year's.
We may yet be having Christmas with our friends.
BTW - I am an Iowan

4. just another "resistance is futile" thread as far as I'm concerned.

Unless it is preordained that HRC gets to personally choose all of the caucus participants, it is way too early to call in my opinion

5. Will there be a debate in Iowa before the caucuses?

7. Thank you. That should be good.

8. Great news!

Nobody believes the lies of the republicans and their mouthpieces anymore.

Its going to be awesome casting my vote for the first female President in 2016!

9. All things considering, 15 percent is good

Bernie just announced and has little name recognition with casual voters. He'll double that soon.

10. Sanders didn't completely upend the race in a week, so it's over.

11. Okay, I guess it's all over and we can go home now.

15. And think, there's only ~9 months to go before the Iowa caucus...

An awful lot can happen between now & then. Might not want to count your chickens just yet.
