Today a new Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll was released and for the Democratic side of the race, it's a mixed bag.
For Hillary Clinton, the bad news is that her lead in the state is fast disappearing, down to just 37% support among Democrats polled.
She does get one small piece of good news: 61% of those Democrats polled don't find her email scandal important. Though if that really is the case, what is the cause of her slipping support among Iowa Democrats?
For Senator Bernie Sanders, his insurgent candidacy is gaining more and more steam in the early states, with Sanders polling 30%, just seven points behind Hillary Clinton. Further, the majority of Sanders' supporters are doing so because they truly believe in his ideas and aren't just doing so because his name isn't Clinton.
Good to see that the Democratic side of the race isn't getting stale and boring in wake of the GOP's turbulent race for the top..
Iowa Poll: Clinton leads, but Sanders draws near
