Hillary Clintn's Lead Over bernie Sanders Widens **WSJ**
Hillary Clinton has increased her national lead to 25 percentage points over Bernie Sanders, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll.
The summary maintains the talking points of close races in Iowa w/o stressing that Sanders support is strictly among the young in Iowa. We addressed these details with charts from VOX yesterday (Sat.) The month change in the Iowa caucus date presents a very different geographic congregation of those students, now back in school on 3 university campuses. This is why Five Thirty Eight is convinced that Hillary will win Iowa heartily.
In spite of the daily saturation in politico talking heads analyzing polls, the WSJ shares key charts that show nationally, just how little the national race between Clinton and Sanders has changed over a long period of time. Nationally, it also shows Hillary's position with young voters currently much stronger than in Iowa.

The forecasts suggest that state polls alone may not be the most accurate predictor of primary results.
