Recent Iowa Poll Has Hillary Up 65-24 Against Sanders?

[CHL]

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton posted a huge lead in a new Iowa poll released Tuesday.

The Monmouth University survey gave Clinton an eye-popping 65% support among likely Democratic caucus-goers in the state.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), Clinton’s chief primary rival, got just 24%, followed by former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s (D) 5% and Harvard professor Larry Lessig’s 1%.

The good-polling news followed Clinton’s strong performance in the first Democratic debate, as well as during last Thursday’s 11-hour hearing on Benghazi, which the cable-news networks carried live.

Many political observers considered those two events a success for Clinton, whose campaign limped through a difficult summer filled with scrutiny over the private email server she used at the State Department.

However, there is some reason to be sceptical over Clinton’s supposed 41-point lead over Sanders in Iowa. On Twitter, The New York Times’ Nate Cohn pointed to Monmouth’s likely-voter screen: those “who voted in at least one of the last two state primary elections.”

That would naturally exclude first-time voters, second-time voters, and others drawn to the higher-interest presidential race next year. Sanders is courting young voters in particular and likely counts on some in these groups to help him win.

Poll is based on a poor sample. Sander's has consistently closed the gap in Iowa excepting for this one outlier

No need to let your allegiances speak unreasonably.

People elect every fukked up Congress. I believe these polls are probably more accurate than i'd like to ever believe.

It is a skewed poll because it doesn't count first-timers or the folks who are going to be coming into the caucuses to register as Democrats that day but it is a pretty good snapshot of who longtime Iowa Dems are likely to vote for.
I still think the entire caucus process is ridiculous bullshyt that needs to be tossed in the garbage. All these goofy caucus states need to just have regular primaries like the rest of the country.

I don't like Sanders or Clinton but that poll is bullshyt. There's way too mu h of n anti-establishment sentiment in this country for that to be true. Sanders is getting the hardcore Ron Paul treatment.
