This post will be updated once the debate begins.

  • The debate is being held roughly two weeks before the Iowa caucus on Feb. 1.
  • The New Hampshire primary will then be held on Feb. 9.
  • Recent polls indicate a shift in the once-wide lead Clinton held over Sanders.
  • A poll of New Hampshire voters by Monmouth University indicated that 53% of voters would choose Sanders, compared to 39% for Clinton.
  • Another poll of Iowa voters conducted by the Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics shows that Clinton still has a 2% edge over Sanders. Last month, however, she had a 9% lead.
  • On Friday, the chairman of the RNC said Sanders would probably be a more difficult candidate to face than Clinton.
