Barack Obama was beginning to dominate Hillary Clinton in 2008 around this time of the year. In three polls conducted around December 7, 2008, Obama led Clinton by 6% (Newsweek) and 8% (Strategic Vision). Thereafter, Clinton dominated some polls Obama dominated others. www.realclearpolitics.com/...
In contrast, a new CNN poll released today shows Hillary with an 18 point lead over Sanders in Iowa. www.cnn.com/...
Sanders can still win Iowa. 18% is not an extremely large lead to erase, but the Sanders-is-Obama theory is facing it's first test. Obama was doing significantly better at a comparable date 8 years ago.
