February 6, 2015

One of the potential hiccups with an all-but-certain Hillary Clinton
campaign for president in 2016 is a perceived problem with young voters.

There’s good precedent for this perception: In 2008, the last time she ran
for president, Clinton was walloped by President Barack Obama among youth
voters in the Democratic primary. He tripled her share of the youth vote in
Iowa, prompting a top Clinton adviser to famously say, “Our people look
like caucus-goers and his people look like they are 18.”

But a new poll released Friday finds that, so far, Clinton is avoiding that
trip heading into 2016. The poll, from the University of New Hampshire and
WMUR, shows Clinton with not only a commanding lead among young voters in
the state. It also shows young voters as her biggest supporters.

The 18-34 age group is the one that appears most firm about voting for
Clinton in a 2016 Democratic primary. Three-quarters of that group says
they would vote for her if the Democratic primary were held today. Just 9
percent choose Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts), a liberal firebrand
who has repeatedly said she won’t run for president. And 4 percent would
vote for Vice President Joe Biden.

The results align with those from Fusion’s Massive Millennial Poll, which
surveyed 1000 people aged 18-34 about everything from politics to dating to
race issues. The poll found 38 percent of the millennials surveyed —
including 57 percent of millennial Democrats surveyed in the poll.

Clinton has bigger problems — if they can be called problems — with the
50-and-over crowd of the possible Democratic primary voters in New
Hampshire, who carried her to a surprise victory there in 2008. That year,
more than two-thirds of Democratic primary voters were over the age of 40.
She beat Obama by at least 9 points among the age 40-49, 50-64, and
65-and-over age groups.

This time, according to the UNH/WBUR poll, her lead is smaller than with
young voters. But she still leads Warren by at least 30 points in each age
group.

Some liberal groups have continued their efforts to push Warren into the
race, even as she has become more firm in saying she will not challenge
Clinton. This week, the “Run Warren Run” campaign — which is being led by
the groups Democracy for America and MoveOn.org Political Action —
announced the opening of a field office in New Hampshire.

The group, which already has offices in the early-caucus state of Iowa,
said it plans to open more offices in New Hampshire. It also hired a New
Hampshire state director for its campaign. It’s being led mostly by younger
activists who want Clinton to face a primary challenge.

Hillary Clinton is running for president, so when does she plan to tell the
world? It’s one of biggest questions in politics right now. Speculation
originally focused on January, before turning to April, and now even July –
but why not anytime in between those months?

Launching a presidential campaign is like launching a rocket – there’s a
ton of careful preparation and you have to wait for a window to open before
conditions are right. But instead planetary movements, a campaign launch
window is determined by the cyclical nature of federal elections laws and
the power of money in modern American politics.

Every four months, presidential campaigns are required to report their
fundraising hauls for the previous quarter to the Federal Election
Commission. Campaigns want as much time as possible to show strong results
in those end-of-the-quarter reports, so an ideal launch window opens on the
first day of every new quarter, and begins closing at the end of that month
it gets closer and closer to the deadline for reporting fundraising figures.

That’s why, when Clinton ruled out a January (the beginning of the first
quarter) campaign launch, advisors and outside speculation immediately
turned to April, which is the beginning of the second quarter. And when
some of Clinton allies recently started urging another postponement,
speculation immediately turned towards July, the beginning of the third
quarter. Launching in, say, June would be malpractice, insiders say, since
her campaign would have only half as much time to raise money.

This also helps explain why Clinton’s potential primary opponents are
almost all saying they’ll make a decision on their own runs in March or
“spring,” in time for the April launch window.

For Republican hopefuls, who are a facing a fluid and crowded presidential
primary field, other considerations might be more important than maximizing
their first fundraising window.

But for Clinton, who has time on her side and can set the pace of the
Democratic primary at her leisure, insiders say the reporting window is
critical. She knows all too well just how important a presidential
campaign’s first finance report can be.

During her 2008 presidential bid, the first major sign that Clinton was in
mortal trouble came from her first fundraising report to the FEC. To great
fanfare, her campaign unveiled that they had raked in a whopping $36
million in the first four months since Clinton announced her candidacy in
January of 2007. It turned out that only about $20 million of that was
actually raised during the previous quarter for the primary campaign,
though even that number was still seen as impressive.

But four days later, Obama stunned the political world with his own
eye-popping number: $23.5 million. For a first-term senator who, despite
all his natural talents, was not given much of a chance when it came to
fundraising against the Clinton juggernaut, the number was a sign of
unexpected strength that immediately put him on the same level as the far
more experienced Clinton.

Voters are hardly paying attention this early in the race, and probably
don’t care how much a campaign raises in their first four months of
operation, but early fundraising is key to the so-called “invisible
primary,” when candidates jockey for money and endorsements. A strong
number that surpass expectations can open new doors (and checkbooks) for an
underdog candidate, while a weak number can pull the rug out from under a
frontrunner.

Clinton does not want a repeat of 2008 this time around.

Fortunately for Clinton, she has a massive network of eager donors ready to
open their checkbooks the moment she gets in the race. Unfortunately for
her, even if none of her potential 2016 primary opponents raise anywhere
near the money Obama did, the high expectations that come from her
prohibitive frontrunner status mean Clinton is under pressure to report an
enormous figure in her first haul.

While allies are loath speculate about specific numbers, some worry that
anything less than historic will be seen as a disappointment.

*The Hill: “Sanders promises 'clash of ideas' with Hillary Clinton if both
run in 2016”
<http://thehill.com/homenews/232084-sanders-promises-clash-of-ideas-with-clinton>*

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Saturday morning that voters will see
stark differences between himself and Hillary Clinton if the two both
decide to run for the White House in 2016.

“Trust me, there will be a real clash of ideas,” Sanders said on MSNBC’s
“Up with Steve Kornacki.”

“I happen to like and respect Hillary Clinton, but I suspect on issues like
massive investments in infrastructure, on real tax reform, on the need to
deal in a very bold way with the planetary crisis of climate change, with
the transpacific partnership, I suspect we will have some real differences.”

Sanders is flirting with entering the 2016 Democratic presidential primary,
but Clinton is a prohibitive favorite. Despite her huge lead for the
nomination in opinion polls, however, there are signs of discontent among
progressives, especially when it comes to Clinton’s economic worldview.

If Sanders runs, he’d likely trumpet the goals of the progressive wing of
the party, which wants bold policies aimed at addressing rising income
inequality.

“I think we need a political revolution in this country, we need to get
people once again actively involved in the political process and take on
the people who have the real power in America,” Sanders said. He added that
income inequality is at its starkest since 1929 and that, since the 2008
recession, the vast majority of all new income generated has gone to the
wealthiest one percent.

His wish-list includes robust infrastructure spending, raising the minimum
wage and a “national health care program that guarantees health care” to
all.

His proposals would both increase government spending and expand the bounds
of government more generally — neither of which are things that Republicans
are likely to support. But Sanders said that if progressives can rally a
majority of Americans behind their message, they could force change in
Congress.

“If some of us are successful in mobilizing the American people and in a
sense, giving the Republicans an offer they can’t refuse, yes, we can be
successful,” he said.

“We may not get everything we want, I think we can push the Republicans to
raise the minimum wage a lot higher than it is right now.”

A robust economy marked by a boom in jobs and a plunge in gas prices is
threatening the longtime Republican strategy of criticizing President Obama
for holding back growth and hiring, forcing the GOP to overhaul its
messaging at the beginnings of a presidential campaign.

On Friday, the government announced that 257,000 jobs had been created in
January and that wages over the past year had increased 2.2 percent. The
bump in wages, together with the sharp decline in gas prices, is providing
financial relief that could be worth as much as $2,000 a year to an average
worker.

The unemployment rate ticked up by one-tenth of a point to 5.7 percent,
largely because a wave of people reentered the workforce — or resumed job
hunts — after years of discouragement.

“We’re finally getting to that point where a self-sustaining recovery is
going on,” said Jeremy Lawson, chief economist at Standard Life
Investments, an asset management firm.

The improvement may mark a turning point in the nation’s seven-year-long
debate over the state of the economy. Obama came to office amid a financial
crisis, promising to turn the economy around. Republicans repeatedly — and,
in the 2014 midterm campaign, successfully — argued that he had fallen
short, with an economy suffering slow growth and unnecessarily high
unemployment.

But a broad consensus among economists that the economy has come to life in
recent months appears to be turning that GOP strategy on its head. Some
leaders, such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, have
acknowledged and sought to claim credit for the improvement, which has
coincided with Republicans taking control of both houses of Congress.

Other Republicans, while agreeing that the economy is improving, focused on
the most glaring problems in the labor market, criticizing Obama for not
accomplishing enough.

“We need to build on this recent momentum and continue closing the Obama
recovery’s private-sector jobs gap when compared to average recoveries,”
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Tex.), the top House Republican on the Joint Economic
Committee, said Friday.

Republican economic strategists say that the economy’s improvement poses a
tough challenge for the GOP, potentially undermining the party’s hopes of
recapturing the White House in 2016 if they don’t have a message that goes
beyond assailing Obama.

“When Hillary Clinton runs, she’s going to say, ‘The Republicans gave us a
crappy economy twice, and we fixed it twice. Why would you ever trust them
again?’ ” said Kevin Hassett, a former economic adviser to GOP nominees
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
“The objective for the people in the Republican Party who want to defeat
her is to come up with a story about what’s not great” in this recovery,
especially wage growth, he said.

Some in the party have already started to do that, acknowledging the
economy’s improvements and tailoring their critiques to an issue more
frequently championed by Democrats: the failure of the recovery to
adequately boost wages for middle- and low-income workers.

“What you can argue is, yes, right now the economy has the wind at its
back,” said Kevin Madden, a former Romney adviser who is a partner at
Hamilton Place Strategies in Washington. “Let’s seize this opportunity to
deliver broader, sustained growth.”

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, considered a leading candidate to win the
GOP nomination next year, began testing a message this week in Detroit,
speaking directly to the struggles and frustrations of the middle class.

McConnell, House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and Rep. Paul Ryan
(R-Wis.), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, have all said
in television interviews that the recovery is not lifting ordinary
Americans in the way that it should.

Meanwhile, Obama said on Friday that the stronger economy is a case for his
vision of economic populism.

“My number one priority is making sure the American peoples’ wages and
incomes are going up, because right now the stock market has gone up [and]
corporate profits are at an all-time high,” Obama said.

“At a time when the economy is finally picking up steam, we’ve got to work
twice as hard in Washington,” he said.

The U.S. economy has created more than 1 million jobs over the past three
months, the best stretch of hiring in 17 years. That job growth, along with
improved consumer confidence and spending, suggests the recovery has
finally found a higher gear, more than five years after the Great Recession
officially ended.

Most economists expect that 2015 will be the best year for American workers
since the recession. Less important than the pace of hiring is the
emergence of solid wage growth, an indicator of full labor market health
that comes when employers feel pressured to fight for workers.

The average hourly worker saw a 12-cent-per-hour raise in January, the best
one-month increase since 2007. Since the Great Recession, real wages have
remained stagnant, but this is slowly beginning to change. Over the past
year, wages have risen 2.2 percent. Meantime, consumer prices are seeing
inflation below 1 percent, because cheaper oil has caused gasoline prices
to plummet.

“The pickup in average hourly earnings gains was a belated Christmas
present,” Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West, said in an
e-mail. “It should help the Fed look past a temporary drop in inflation
this year and keep their eye on gradually normalizing interest rates.”

The typical 40-hour-per-week American worker, according to government data,
makes about $1,100 more than he did one year ago. Meantime, savings from
gasoline could prove just as important. The typical American spent some
$2,400 at the pump in 2013, when prices averaged $3.44 per gallon,
according to a government survey of consumers. If gas prices hold steady at
the current $2.01, Americans will save $1,000 for the year.

It remains unclear how long gasoline prices will stay low — oil has rallied
slightly over the past week — but they’ve already helped drive a
psychological change in the way Americans view the economy. Consumer
confidence is at a post-recession high, and in January, a wave of people
reentered the job hunt after months or years on the sideline. As a result,
January’s data showed at least some evidence that these workers are again
looking for work. The labor force participation rate — which tracks the
proportion of Americans holding or seeking a job — nudged up from 62.7 to
62.9 percent.

“When I look at this report, I see a confident economy,” Department of
Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez said Friday in an interview. “Companies
that are bullish. New job seekers who are more optimistic. And when you
factor low gas prices and wage growth, that adds up to money in people’s
pockets, a greater hop in their step.”

[Subtitle:] The vice president will be in Des Moines Thursday, sources
familiar with event planning told The Des Moines Register

Joe Biden, the vice president and an underdog in the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination, is scheduled to be back in Iowa next
week, The Des Moines Register has learned.

Biden will speak in Des Moines on Thursday, according to sources familiar
with preparations for his trip.

The news comes in the wake of the release this past weekend of a new Iowa
Poll that shows Biden trails both Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren in
the horse race for most popular presidential pick among likely Democratic
caucusgoers.

Biden's timing suggests he wants to keep his name in circulation as
presidential material - any time top-shelf politicians make a trip here it
reinforces the notion that they harbor aspirations for the top job. He is
currently in Belgium, meeting with European leaders in part to talk about
sanctions against Russia and security and aid to Ukraine. He'll also attend
a security summit in Germany.

Democrats generally think the 2016 Democratic nomination is Clinton's if
she wants it, although she has yet to announce an official candidacy. In
September, Biden made headlines for chasing Clinton here just three days
after she made her Iowa comeback after a seven-year absence; she spoke
before an audience of 10,000 and a horde of media at the Harkin Steak fry.

Biden's event Thursday, like the one in September, will be an official
White House trip to talk about the Obama administration's economic
policies. Biden remarks in September, with the Iowa Capitol in the
background, had the air of a campaign stump speech, as he called for
raising the minimum wage and making life better for the middle class.

Biden, 72, was here more recently, in late October, to campaign in
Davenport for two Iowa Democrats running for federal office, Dave Loebsack,
who was re-elected to Congress, and Bruce Braley, who lost his bid for U.S.
Senate.

This will be Biden's fourth post-2012 trip here. He spoke at the 2013
Harkin Steak Fry, and he did a private event with invited guests at Des
Moines' ballpark, Principal Park, beforehand.

Biden has a network of connections in Iowa after running for president here
in both 1987 and 2007, then campaigning extensively with President Barack
Obama in 2012.

Known as a champion for the middle class and an expert on foreign policy,
Biden has been described by Iowa Democrats as forceful, engaging and
direct, but also has a reputation for long-windedness and verbal gaffes
collectively known as Bidenisms. An Iowa Poll in September 2012 found that
47 percent of Iowans considered Biden a drag on the ticket.

Among Democratic activists, opinions of him are high, the new Iowa Poll
shows. He's viewed favorably by 78 percent of likely 2016 Democratic
caucusgoers, the Jan. 26-29 poll found. Just 20 percent have a negative
view of him.

That means his popularity among those core Democratic voters is almost as
high as Clinton's (84 percent favorable). But he's the first choice of just
9 percent of likely caucusgoers, while Clinton is the top choice for 56
percent. Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, is the first choice for
16 percent.

<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/02/06/new-hampshire-and-the-case-for-hillary-clinton-not-quite-being-inevitable/>*

New Hampshire has been very good to the Clintons, making Bill Clinton the
"comeback kid" in its 1992 primary and helping Hillary Clinton to a badly
needed victory after Barack Obama won Iowa in 2008. And Hillary Clinton is
a strong favorite there again this year -- as she is nearly everywhere.

But as we enter the 2016 campaign, it's worth remembering that New
Hampshire likes to surprise us. And there are plenty of reasons to keep an
eye on the Granite State when it comes to Clinton's supposed
"inevitability" as the Democratic nominee.

Despite vast coverage of Clinton's dominance in lining up for a
presidential run, three in four likely New Hampshire Democratic primary
voters in a new WMUR Granite State Poll
<http://cola.unh.edu/sites/cola.unh.edu/files/research_publications/gsp2015_winter_demprim020515.pdf>
say
they're "still trying to decide" who they'll vote for in the state's 2016
primary. Just 7 percent say they've "definitely decided."

The widespread lack of commitment in the poll, conducted by the University
of New Hampshire, is unsurprising roughly one year before voting. But it is
a reminder there's ample room for volatility in a Democratic race which
thus far has looked like a looming Clinton rout. People are at least
open-minded.

Between the courting of top strategists and Democratic donors, polls asking
how Democrats would vote "if the election were held today" have found
Clinton dominating other hopefuls. Indeed, 58 percent in the same sample of
Democrats said they would support Clinton today, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren
(D-Mass.) in a distant second at 14 percent and Vice President Biden at 8
percent. This does not imply much hemming and hawing, but the "still trying
to decide" number assures she hasn't put the Democratic nomination on ice
just yet (nor should we expect her to have done so).

The lack of final decision is not itself worrisome for Clinton; voters
simply don't decide this early. At this point in 2011, the Republican field
was in a very similar situation, with 78 percent of Republican likely
voters in February 2011 survey still trying to decide who to support --
even as Mitt Romney held a 30-point lead over other potential contenders in
a state he wound up dominating in 2012. Romney won by 16 points over Ron
Paul, smaller than his initial edge but still a no-doubted from the
beginning.

But the survey offers other clues as to Clinton's vulnerabilities among
primary voters and makes clear Democratic voters are not thrilled about
their options so far. Fewer than one in five Democrats say they're "very
satisfied" with the choice of candidates for the Democratic nomination (18
percent); 63 percent take poll choice equivalent of "meh," saying they are
"somewhat satisfied." And despite nearly six in 10 preferring her to other
Democrats, just 32 percent say she is the most likable and 31 percent say
she's the most believable. No other candidate, though, beats her on these
attributes.

The rest of the poll is gravy for Clinton's prospects, and bodes
particularly poorly for Joe Biden, one of her strongest potential rivals.
More than eight in 10 have a favorable impression of her (83 percent) and
just 9 percent are unfavorable -- by far the best favorable-unfavorable
margin (+74). Others like Warren and Sanders are similarly well-liked by
those who know them, but aren't as well-known.

Biden's image is weaker according to the poll. His favorability margin is a
modest +23 (53 percent favorable/30 percent unfavorable), which far weaker
than Warren or Clinton and worse than surveys by the same pollster in
October and July (+32 and +47 favorability margins, respectively.)  Biden
is less popular in New Hampshire than Iowa, where a Des Moines
Register/Bloomberg Politics poll found a 78/20 percent
favorable/unfavorable split on general impressions.

The poll underscores how much Clinton's candidacy banks on other Democrats
failing to make strong impression ahead of primaries this fall, and the
importance of maintaining her own positive image. When New Hampshire voters
do begin to decide, she'll want voters' opinions to look a lot they do
right now.

The WMUR Granite State poll was conducted on landline and cellular phones
Jan. 22 to Feb. 3 among a random sample of 297 likely voters in the 2016
New Hampshire Democratic primary. The margin of sampling error is 5.7
percentage points.
