Hillary up by 6 points in latest Iowa Poll

[StevieM]

It's Fox, so of course they spun it as Hillary's numbers declining, even though the race in Iowa has been a dead heat since the New Year.

CNN followed suit in their own on-air coverage of the poll, acting as if it showed Bernie gaining ground.

1. That's because he has gained ground.

When networks report their own polls they compare the results to their previous poll, not necessarily other recent polls.

3. Well, he's still behind Hillary.

But he's got a week to go.
Anything can happen with polling.

4. Some polls he is, some he isn't

Iowa is pretty much a dead heat. This is going to be one crazy week.

7. As a resident of Iowa

My gut tells me this is currently tied up, and it's going to come down to whom is able to get their people to the caucus.

2. They "spun" it as "Hillary's numbers declining" because her lead fell from 14% in December to 6%

6. Well, it is an improvement since the prior Fox poll when HRC was up by 14

Clinton’s up by six percentage points (48-42 percent) in the new poll, released Monday. In early December, she led Sanders by 14 (50-36 percent).

8. Key factors

Buried in the details:

Those caucusing for the first-time prefer Sanders (49-36 percent).

"Overall, 29 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers say they feel "betrayed" by politicians in their party, and they go strongly for Sanders (56-29 percent)."

"Women stay in Clinton's camp (+22 points), while the younger crowd maintains their loyalty to Sanders (+33 points)."

Iowa Democrats are looking for a candidate who is honest and trustworthy (24 percent), has the right experience (20 percent), and cares about people like them (20 percent). Those qualities outrank electability (15 percent).

Lastly, (not from article) event turn-out for Sanders is higher than any candidate since PBO's 2008 run. A caucus format favors an activist candidate like Sanders.

A lot rides on GOTV. Based on the numbers in article and If the Sanders campaign motivates his supporters to Caucus for him than Clinton loses.

10. cute try at trying to yoke Sanders to Fox

[StevieM]

11. You are mistaken. I am not trying to yoke Sanders to Fox. I like Sanders...I don't like Fox.

Like most Democrats, I like Clinton, Sanders and O'Malley.

My point was that Fox was, in my opinion, spinning against Hillary. That is in no way a reflection on Bernie Sanders.
