Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is gaining ground on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the Iowa Democratic Caucus and now trails the front-runner 52 - 33 percent among likely Democratic Caucus participants, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Vice President Joseph Biden has 7 percent.

This compares to a 60 - 15 percent Clinton lead over Sanders in a May 7 survey of likely Democratic caucus-goers by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

In today's survey, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has 3 percent with one percent for former U.S. Sen. James Webb of Virginia. Another 5 percent are undecided.

1. Bernie has over doubled his percentage, & Hillary lost 8 points by your OPs first paragraph....

She had 60 in May, 52 in june.

2. I don't know about that. 52-60= -8 drop for HRC doesn't it?

4. Observation:When the below is an exact quote from your link....

"Secretary Hillary Clinton should not be biting her fingernails over her situation in the Iowa caucus, BUT HER LEAD IS SLIPPING and Sen. Bernie Sanders is making progress against her. Her 52 percent score among likely caucus-goers is still OK, but this is the first time she has been below 60 percent in Quinnipiac University's Iowa survey," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll." (emphasis added)

...stating that Clinton is "NOT going down" is either a deliberate lie or a delusion of frightening dimension.

8. Yep

it proves this isn't just a NH surge.Iowa isn't next door to vermont.

Bernie is he pulls it out in both iowa and NH this race changes.

Obama winning iowa changed race,and when Kerry won both iowa and NH the race was basicly decered for nomination.
