comments that he's made in the past about women. i don't think it's appropriate but i think that if you look at his life over the past five years i think that he's changed" trump to them is an outsider, someone who will shake things up, and disrupt the status quo... which is exactly what they want. in cedar rapids samantha myers kcrg- tv9 news. clinton supporters coming up in our next half hour. after a tough game against wisconsin and week off the iowa hawkeyes are back in action. we'll show you when and where you can see the hawks

"frankly, what we're voting and if you've got 40 percent now and it's still growing. at some point it will probably be over 50. in several of our counties in iowa, we have over 60 percent of people voting that way. " in the race for president, a new poll shows republican donald trump leading democrat hillary clinton in iowa. the simpson college poll found 44 percent support trump while 41 percent are for hillary. kcrg-tv9's forrest saunders

clinton is the right fit for the white house. if you would have asked lance wilson who he was voting for before the iowa caucus, he wouldn't have said clinton--"berni e was the first candidate who spoke... right to my heart. everything he had to say i agreed with. i've never experienced wilson had a problem with clinton's connections to super pacs and major corporations. but, he begrudgingly changed from feeling the bern to climbing the hill. her push to curtail climate change and work with sanders to create a progressive platform had wilson satisfied. one more thing, too-- "how unfit i believe donald trump to be as president of the united states. he's too unstable."ther e are many others who feel similar. pew

"hillary will be an advocate for me. she's proven it. she's always advocated for women and children and the people who need to be advocated for."garlock is part of clinton's large female base. check this out. the researchers at 538 show clinton nearly sweeping the electoral college, if men didn't vote. same would be true for trump, if women didn't. speaking of trump... "i've been watching hillary the last few days, she's totally unhinged." the republican has been blasting clinton over the fbi's renewed interest into her emails. the most recent mcclatchy marist poll found 51% of likely voters think clinton did something illegal. the group attributed the re interest in the emails to her slip in the polls-- now 46% to trump's 44%. even so, neither garlock or wilson thought much of the emails. they were just
