Cruz attacks Sanders, Rubio in New Hampshire

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)Bernie Sanders has turned to folk icons Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel for an ad set to run the week before the Iowa caucuses.

But some people have taken an issue with one little detail: it’s basically all white people. The threat from Bernie Sanders is believed to be rattling the Clinton camp.

Both candidates find closer races in Iowa, which will go to caucus just over a week before New Hampshire’s primary.

“I don’t think there is a woman more confident than Hillary Clinton”, Lovato told the cheering crowd inside an auditorium at the University of Iowa.

“We have differences and it is that time in the campaign when he’s making contrast and I am as well”, Clinton said.

In addition to a growth in support, Sanders’ net favorability has also gone up, with 91 percent of likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters saying they have a favorable opinion of him, according to poll results. If Bernie Sanders can pull out victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, then he could win over more on-the-fence voters and polls in SC and later states could tip more in his favor.

“We’re approaching panic mode for the Clinton campaign right now, because the entire argument for her candidacy so far has been basically her inevitability as a result of her wide name recognition and this tremendous political machine that she has behind her”, Markay said.

The three new ads, which will air on stations in Iowa and New Hampshire, are part of a major new push on television from the campaign.

Even still, audience members said they appreciated the seriousness she brought to the event.

But as per the latest opinion poll released by the same agency, Sanders now leads Clinton by eight points.

Sanders says he committed to defeating the Islamic State but without what he calls the mistakes of the Iraq War, a war he voted against and Hillary Clinton voted for.

When asked whether they would like the next president to continue Obama’s policies, move to more conservative policies or liberal polices, 48 percent said continue with Obama’s policies and 14 percent said move towards conservative polices, while a third (33 percent) wanted more liberal policies.
