Poll: ‘Dishonest,’ ‘socialist’, top word lists for Clinton, Sanders

Hillary Clinton’s image among all Americans is decidedly negative, while Bernie Sanders’ is slightly more mixed, according to the results of a new Gallup poll released Tuesday.

Clinton-Sanders battle for Hispanic voters intensifies

The battle for Hispanic voters in the Democratic presidential primary is just getting started.

She won the Nevada caucuses by over 5 percentage points, an important margin in a state whose electorate was only 59 percent white. While there are still some questions about how Latinos voted, Clinton can claim tremendous support from black voters heading into South Carolina and Super Tuesday.

Bernie Sanders‘ high-flying Democratic presidential campaign fell back to Earth on Saturday in Nevada.

If the Vermont senator cannot quickly find a way to broaden his appeal to minorities and union members, last week’s 22-point rout of Clinton in New Hampshire could prove to be his campaign highlight.
