WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A new poll shows Bernie Sanders leading in Iowa by 1 percent and in New Hampshire by 19 percent, with Hillary Clinton in second in both early states just nine days before the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.
The CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday shows Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders with the support of 47 percent of likely Iowa caucus-goers, compared to Clinton's 46 percent. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley trails with about 5 percent.
This is the second poll in a row that shows Sanders ahead in Iowa. With the exception of two polls taken in late August and early September, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in the lead in Iowa all last year. Two polls in early January marked a turn-around for Sanders, showing him beating Clinton for the first time since September.
In New Hampshire, Sanders leads with 57 percent in the CBS/YouGov poll -- almost 20 points higher than Clinton's 38 percent. The New Hampshire primary election is Feb. 9.
