Bernie is running out of steam?

22. According to the last Iowa Poll Sanders was down by 9

...and that was a month ago.

Since that time, he has gained momentum.

At the very least, it's a nine-point game. That poll was taken before the DNC antics, and Hillary did not win that round in Iowa. Bernie did.

Your statement, "Hillary is crushing Sanders in Iowa--is a statement that is not rooted in reality.

Furthermore, her political events are not well attended in Iowa. Clinton is getting crowds of 300. Bernie is getting crowds of 2000+. That speaks directly about the enthusiasm he has generated. And you need that enthusiasm and excitement to motivate people to the caucuses. Her campaign seems to be falling flat.

The next Iowa Poll doesn't come out for a couple of weeks, but that poll is the gold standard of polling in Iowa. Nate Silver ranks this poll an A+ for its accuracy and science-based methodology. So many of the polls that I've seen on Iowa are complete bunk. They do not poll Iowa Independents. Independents are the largest voting block in Iowa--41 percent of the population and many of them will caucus for Bernie. Some of those polls exclude EVERYONE under the age of 26, because they only call people who have caucused before. Those polls have lazy methodology and are crap.
