Where Hillary And Bernie Stand In The States Of Iowa And New Hampshire

1. 
2. Clinton leads Sanders 55 percent to 26 percent in Iowa and 47 percent to 34 percent in New Hampshire in match-ups that don't include Vice President Joe Biden.
3. With Biden added in — pending his decision on whether to run — Clinton leads with 49 percent to Sanders's 25 percent and Biden's 10 percent in Iowa. In New Hampshire, Clinton's lead over Sanders closes to 42 percent to 32 percent, with Biden at 12 percent.
4. More important for Clinton, her favorability rating with Democrats remains prohibitively high while Sanders may be approaching a ceiling. Seventy-four percent of registered Iowa Democrats say they view her favorably while 20 percent see her in an unfavorable light. For Sanders, the split is 51 percent to 15 percent.
5. Clinton's favorable rating among New Hampshire Democrats is 71 percent. Sanders does much better in New Hampshire, with 65 percent of Democrats there reporting they view him favorably and only 14 percent seeing him unfavorably.
6. The biggest challenge for Clinton in these two swing states is that she's well below the waterline among the electorate as a whole. In both states, just 37 percent of registered voters rate her as favorable. Nearly identical portions of registered voters see her as unfavorable in Iowa and New Hampshire — 56 percent and 57 percent, respectively.
