Hillary Clinton Continues to Dominate Over Democratic Rival Bernie Sanders
Hillary Clinton continued her masterful dominance in the polls, which led to several analysts to think that her win in the 2016 primary presidential election is inevitable.
According to the latest poll by Real Clear Politics, Clinton recorded 51.2 points, compared to her closest rival Bernie Sanders, who got a flat 38 points.
Clinton is vastly different from the first time she ran for president back in 2008. Boasting experience, know-how and more accessible Democratic ideologies, Hillary's campaign is thriving like never before.
However, despite Hillary dominating Sanders' numbers in the national polls, Sanders still leads over Hillary in key states such as Iowa and New Hampshire. In a report by The Guardian, Sanders' latest town hall event in Iowa garnered twice the amount of crowd compared to Clinton's.
With the final week of campaign commencing, both the Democratic presidential candidates are doing everything they can to win the voters.
A Clinton victory in Iowa would mean that she can finally shut her detractors that think she cannot win over her rival in the state. In that regard, it helps that the Des Moines Register, an influential publication in the state, has endorsed Hillary Clinton.
The newspaper cited the former U.S. Secretary's "knowledge" and "experience" as the key traits on why it endorsed her.
The Des Moines Register also praised Hillary during her time as the first lady and cited that she "worked tirelessly on health care reform and, with bipartisan support, created the Children's Health Insurance Program that provides coverage for 8 million children."
As for Bernie Sanders, despite trailing Clinton by a significant margin, he continues to surge in the polls. His lead in New Hampshire and Iowa is important, as it can possibly dictate the flow of this election. If the current numbers in the survey proved to be correct, it can inspire the remaining states to get in on the "Feel the Bern" hype.
In an opinion piece by The Verge, Clinton's victory is almost within reach. Just by continuing her steady campaign and not panicking, Hillary could win the primaries.
Currently, Clinton is employing a strategy where it proclaimed that she will build on what Obama has already accomplished, frequently and subtly telling people that if Sanders wins the presidency, he may undo all of the progress done by the current administration.
Sanders' campaign may be experiencing a surge right now, but with Clinton clearly still leading the polls one week into the primaries, the inevitable seems near.
