Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continues to suffer under the weight of her email scandal and is now losing to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I.-Vt.) in a second early voting state, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.
Clinton now trails Sanders 41 to 40 percent in the poll, even though she possessed a commanding 21-point lead as recently as July.The self-described socialist now leads the former Democratic frontrunner in both Iowa and New Hampshire, the first primary in the nation.
The Quinnipiac poll revealed that Iowa voters are shifting towards Sanders because they do not trust Clinton as much as the other candidates.
Biden leads with 91 percent when asked if candidates are honest and trustworthy, followed by Sanders with 86 percent, with Clinton “significantly lower” with 64 percent of Democrats believing she can be relied on.
Clinton, who led all Democrats with an 85 percent favorability rating two months ago, finally apologized this week for her use of a private server while at the State Department in an interview with ABC on Tuesday.
