...trails far behind Obama and John Edwards in perceptions that she has strong moral character, is inspiring and says what she believes. Voters also express emotional reactions to candidates, and on that front, Clinton's numbers in Iowa look different as well. She generates less hope and pride in Iowa than in New Hampshire - or the nation as a whole - and those Iowans who say she makes them feel afraid are far less likely to support her than are their counterparts at the national level...
