Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) holds a narrow lead in the Iowa Democratic presidential contest over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to a poll released Monday by the American Research Group.

The ARG poll showed support for Sanders at 48 percent of respondents, while support for Clinton stood at 45 percent. These results are virtually unchanged from an ARG poll released earlier this month, which showed Sanders beating Clinton 47 percent to 44 percent.

The ARG poll was carried out from January 21-24 by live telephone interviews of 400 likely Democratic caucusgoers. The margin of error was 5 percentage points.
