Good news for bernie in Iowa poll from PPP

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2015/08/trump-still-leads-in-iowa-fiorina-on-fire-paul-tanking.html

Hillary has dropped from 62% to 52% since april bernie has risen from 14% to 25%

Bernie now has a 61/14 favorably rating up from 40/16 In april.more they see him in iowa the more they like him.

This campaign was never going to unseat hillary overnight.it will take time.But,then again back in 2007 Obama was in similar position and he still won Iowa and nomination.

In 2007 we didn't have:

Gerrymandering to benefit GOP nationwide
Citizens United

And since then, we DO have:

VRA gutted and assinine 'voter id' laws to suppress voting

Am I therefore cynical? Yep.

This quote from the op link:

But Sanders is definitely catching fire as voters become more familiar with him- his favorability is 61/14, up from 40/16 on the previous poll. As Democrats get to know him they're pretty much completely deciding that they like him.

They want people to have a false idea of him before they hear him speak.

….Trump and how he contributed to her 08 campaign. She and Bill attended some Trump wedding—maybe Trump's daughter? Anyway, this is the type of thing that makes her favorables go down.

Go Bernie! It will depend us.
