WASHINGTON— Hillary Clinton has widened her lead to 25 percentage points in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.
The former secretary of state leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders 59% to 34%, a slightly larger margin than the 19-point gap in December.

The new national poll comes as surveys in Iowa and New Hampshire show the race tightening in the states that play host to the first two nominating contests. While losses there would be a setback for Mrs. Clinton, the new Journal/NBC News survey suggests that she would retain strong advantages in the later primaries. Mrs. Clinton owes her durable lead nationally to her strength with key subgroups in the Democratic primary electorate, including nonwhite, older and moderate-to-conservative primary voters.

The race looks much different in Iowa and New Hampshire. Aggregates of recent polls show the contests to be close in both states, with Mrs. Clinton edging Mr. Sanders in Iowa and the Vermont senator claiming a lead in neighboring New Hampshire.

The Journal/NBC News poll surveyed 400 voters who said they would cast ballots in a Democratic primary. It was conducted Jan. 9-13 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

Iowa and New Hampshire are less racially diverse than the country as a whole; white voters accounted for 93% of the participants in Iowa’s 2008 Democratic caucuses. Mrs. Clinton’s lead among white voters is 15 percentage points, 10 points closer than her lead among Democratic primary voters overall.

1. But...but...but...

I heard that if she loses IA it's all over, kaput, because the momentum will be all Bernie! It's gotta be true, I read it right here!

(Of course, if she wins IA, we'll hear how it doesn't matter, so...)

Great news, thanks!

I think it's Clinton in IA by a nose, and of course Sanders takes NH by a fair margin--but he underperforms the numbers being bandied about today. Should he seriously underperform, he's got severe problems.
