Summer political romance proves fragile in Iowa and beyond
In a Des Moines Register poll Bernie Sanders reaches 30 percent among Iowa Democrats, with Hillary Clinton fading, while Public Policy Polling shows Donald Trump at 29 percent nationwide. The critics say surges fade as campaigns mature, favoring Clinton on the Democratic side and caution about Trump on the Republican side. The column notes Clinton’s campaign flaws, Sanders’ momentum, Trump’s appeal and the party risks as primaries approach, warning that future shifts could reshape the race.
