Donald Trump says he could have beaten Obama; environmentalists wary of Srinivasan’s past
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are neck and neck in a new national poll as the two hopefuls for the Democratic presidential nomination barrel toward the next primary contests in Nevada and South Carolina.
Clinton takes 44% to Sanders’ 42% in the Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday morning, with 11% undecided. The two compete next in Nevada’s Democratic caucuses on Saturday, and face each other in the South Carolina primary on Feb. 27. On the Republican side, Donald Trump is far ahead, with 39% — his highest total so far. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is in second place with 19%.
Nevada dead heat: It’s not just nationally: Clinton and Sanders are in a dead heat among likely Democratic caucus-goers in Nevada as well. A CNN/ORC Poll found 48% of likely caucus attendees say they support Clinton, with 47% for Sanders. Clinton holds an edge among women, but Sanders tops the former secretary of state among voters younger than 55.

Trump says he could have beaten Obama: Donald Trump says President Barack Obama is “lucky” that Trump didn’t run for president in 2012. “You’re lucky I didn’t run last time, when [Mitt] Romney ran, because you would have been a one-term president,” Trump said on Tuesday, according to the Washington Post. Trump’s comment came at an event in South Carolina, after Obama told reporters he continued to believe Trump wouldn’t be president.
