1. That is consistent with other polls.

If Senator Sanders loses Iowa he can see a precipitous decline in support, similar to Howard Dean in 2004 whose descent actually preceded the Iowa caucus.

2. This is why Bernie said he wants to go after Trump supporters

There aren't enough Dems available for him to win the nomination. He needs people from outside the party.

I'm sure his internal polling showed the same thing.

3. Read this slowly, compadre, and let me know what you think

As Mr. Rubio posed for photographs with voters after the rally, Dave Crossan and his wife, Marilyn, watched him with mixed feelings. They say that his Cuban roots could help attract Hispanic voters who are crucial to winning the presidency, but they dislike that he has skipped many votes in the Senate. They also admire Mr. Kasich, but are torn about his lack of traction in the polls. Mr. Trump and Carly Fiorina do not seem like winners to them.

So Mr. Crossan may vote for Mr. Sanders, if only to make Mrs. Clinton sweat.

“I don’t want Bernie Sanders to be president,” he said, “but I’ll vote for him anyway.”
