DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) – Democratic White House hopeful Sen. Hillary
Clinton, D-New York, said Saturday that she looks at her campaign as if
she
were "ten or twenty points behind."
Clinton–ahead in the latest national polls by as much as 30 points–made
the
comments to re****ters when asked if she considers herself the frontrunner
in
Iowa, a state where she holds a much smaller lead.
"No," Clinton said. "I consider myself someone who's working as hard as I
can everyday to earn the sup****t of Iowans, and that's what I'm going to
keep doing."
"I'm well aware that no one has voted. No one has caucused. We have a long
way to go before that happens and I don't take anything for granted."
In the latest Des Moines Register poll among 399 likely Democratic
caucusgoers Clinton was in the lead in the Hawkeye State with 29 points.
Former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina, sat at 23 points, and Sen.
Barack Obama, D-Illinois followed closely with 22. The margin of error was
plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
