Clinton strengthens lead over Sanders

Hillary Clinton's lead in the polls against Bernie Sanders has continued to sustain and rise in both the first caucus state of Iowa and nationally, according to a pair of surveys released Monday.
In the Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register poll of Iowa, the former secretary of state earned 48 percent, followed by 39 percent for the independent Vermont senator. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley picked up 4 percent, while 6 percent said they were uncommitted and 2 percent said they were not sure.
In the same October survey, Clinton held a slimmer 7-point advantage over Sanders (48 percent to 41 percent). (Elsewhere, a Fox News poll released Sunday suggested a larger advantage for Clinton in Iowa, at 50 percent to 36 percent over Sanders.)
Sanders and Clinton recorded the same overall net positive favorability ratings, at +68 points. Sanders' numbers stood at 80 percent to 12 percent, while Clinton's were at 82 percent to 14 percent.
-----------On a national basis, Clinton kept up the pace in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, grabbing 56 percent to Sanders' 37 percent.

I read somewhere that the Des Moines Register polls are historically one of the more accurate, so this is good news!
