Heilemann: Sanders ‘Has the Momentum’ in Iowa and Clinton Is ‘Stalled’ There

‘I don’t believe the Sanders’ campaign believes they’re up by eight in Iowa’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BRZEZINSKI: "Now, to the new polls you were talking about out of Iowa that shows Sanders shooting to an eight point lead. A 26 point swing in his direction since last month."
SCARBOROUGH: "Let’s just stop right there. Look at those numbers. Sanders 51, Clinton 43. Sanders plus 15 and minus 11. Hillary Clinton. John, we’ll go to you. It’s a pretty stunning swing there. We don’t know how because this is a caucus state, how it will play out. What’s your take on this shocking poll?"
HEILEMANN: "Well, there are a number of issues that the Clinton campaign have raised with this poll. It’s a small sample. I believe, if I’m reading it right from last night and reading the discourse, it’s heavy on men. Those factors could have kind of pushed the poll more this sander’s favor than what’s going on. I don’t believe the Sander’s campaign believes they’re up by eight in Iowa. I think it’s indicative they have momentum in Iowa and it’s where the dynamic of the race is where he’s starting to edge ahead a little bit. I don’t think it’s eight points. He has the momentum there and gaining ground and she seems to be stalled."
