The Des Moines Register has a poll of Democrats on their preferences in the primary. At this point, I will leave ot to you to sort out who has any advantage as a Democratic front-runner.
What Democrats want:
90% -- someone who will restore good relations with longtime US allies
90% -- someone with a strong moral compass
87% -- someone who understands policy and politics
89% -- someone who will unite the country
90% -- someone who respects decorum
93% -- someone who will tell the truth even if I don't agree
81% -- someone who represents the future of the Democratic party
1% -- don't know

Iowa Democrats clearly want someone as different from Donald Trump on substantive issues and personal character as is possible.
