A second poll shows Hillary Clinton dominating among Iowa Democrats.
Over 61 percent of Iowa Democratic voters surveyed would vote for Clinton in the caucuses, while 23.6 percent would vote for Bernie Sanders Sanders and 3.2 percent were for Martin O’Malley, according to the Loras College poll released Tuesday. Only 10 percent of voters said they were undecided and just 1 percent of voters pledged their support to candidates Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb, who have dropped out of the race in the past week.
Underdog O’Malley has the lowest name recognition, though only 14.4 percent view him unfavorably to 36 percent with a favorable impression.
