Plenty accused Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz of engaging in some serious projection this morning when she tweeted about what a “rough week” it’s been for the Republicans, while the FBI’s “A-team” has been assigned to investigate Democrat front-runner Hillary Clinton.
Wasserman Schultz made her dig at the GOP before the release of the latest poll numbers from Iowa Saturday night, which show trouble for Clinton as she drops below 50 percent and Sen. Bernie Sanders gains ground.

It did indeed, as the top two Democrats are now only seven points apart.
Bernie Sanders has closed to within 7 points of Hillary Clinton in Democratic presidential race. Clinton: 37%, Sanders 30%, Iowa Poll finds.

Sanders, unknown in January, jumps from 5% then to 30% now, per Iowa Poll. Clinton, famous for decades, drops from 56% in Jan to 37% now.

You read that correctly: Clinton has dropped from 56 percent in January to 37 percent in August.

On the GOP side, the real story is Ben Carson, who has gained serious traction.

What to watch in Iowa poll? Ben Carson. Up 8 points since May. Trails Trump by only 5 percent. And favorability is through the roof: 79-8%.
