During a campaign stop in Iowa on Monday, Hillary Clinton was asked twice about Bernie Sanders: Once by a 20-year-old college student who wanted to know Clinton's views on him, and another time by a local reporter who asked if she was worried about him as he gains in the polls.

In response, Clinton told the student that there will be "plenty of time to draw contrasts in the future. She told the reporter that no, shes not worried. And she told both of them that shed like, instead, to focus on the Republicans.

She did all of this, by the way, without ever mentioning her democratic challenger's name -- not even once.

For months, Clinton, 67, has refrained from criticizing any of her democratic challengers, choosing instead to attack the Republican presidential candidates for, what she says are, their out of touch and out of date policies. But as Sanders, the fiercely liberal, 74-year-old Vermont senator, once thought to be a long-shot, has started surging in the polls, questions are growing about when, and if, Clinton will have to start actually challenging him directly.

Asked by a reporter about him earlier this month in New Hampshire, Clinton said: "Its certainly clear my campaign is focused on the Republicans. Thats who I talk about, that is who I criticize. And when asked about their differences on Monday, Clinton suggested she would bring them up during the Democratic debate next month.

Sanders, who is admired for being a political outsider, likewise refuses to attack Clinton on the campaign trail, and does not speak negatively about her on the email issue. However, when asked, he is very quick to outline differences between the two of them on policy issues.

"I want to see the minimum wage raise over a period of years to $15 an hour - she has not been clear on that, Sanders said during a recent interview at the University of Virginia. "I am opposed to the construction of the keystone pipeline - Hillary Clinton has not voiced an opinion on that. I believe we should expand social security not cut them - Hillary Clinton doesnt have a position on that. So, I think its fair to say that we like each other, we respect each other. We have different opinions on some of the major issues facing our country.

Clintons campaign declined to respond to this remark from Sanders, and did not offer any further comment regarding their strategy for dealing with him.

For now, they say, the message within the campaign remains the same: Continue with the plan as planned and dont engage.

(This strategy, however, which is meant to make her seem as the formidable frontrunner, can only last so long. Next month the Democrats have their first presidential primary debate, and Clinton will have no choice but to draw contrasts.)

This has been a tough summer for Clinton. The democratic presidential candidate has seen a significant drop in her poll numbers. According to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll, she is now supported by 42 percent of Democrats, down from 63 percent in July. And shes down 29 points in her support among women.

Sanders, on the other hand, has seen a massive surge. Hes generating huge crowds and filling up stadiums as he campaigns across the country. And although hes still trailing Clinton in national polls, he is steadily closing in on her. A recent NBC News/Marist poll showed him with a 9-point lead over Clinton in New Hampshire.

Clinton, whose campaign has always tried to tamper any notions of inevitability that have often surrounded her, says shes not surprised by Sanders surge that she always expected a competitive primary. Even so, Clinton continues to ignore the Vermont senator, something that is becoming glaringly obvious as he develops into more of a threat.

Clintons rhetoric in public also does not seem to match the conversations happening behind the scenes.

A recent Politico article reports on the growing number of donors urging Clinton to take on Sanders more publicly. The Wall Street Journal reports on the message Clintons campaign chairman John Podesta has relayed to supporters about the months ahead (Its going to be bumpy, friends.) And the New York Times has reported on big-name, white knight democrats waiting in the wings to save the party in case Clinton really stumbles.

In addition, Clintons super-PAC, Correct the Record, has started to circulate negative attacks on Sanders, according to an email sent to the Huffington Post a sign there is growing concern in Clinton-world.

Meanwhile, Clinton is increasing her media appearances and trying to find new ways to highlight her personality out on the trail.

While Clintons decision to ignore Sanders is on one hand a strategy to keep her appearing as the frontrunner. It is, as Clinton would argue, also a testament to a point the democratic candidate repeats often on the campaign trail: That first and foremost, she wants to see a Democrat in the White House come 2017.

Alexander Fox, the 20-year-old college student who asked Clinton about her views on Sanders when she visited his university on Monday in Iowa, seemed to understand and accept this point, despite wishing she had drawn some contrasts.

I feel like I didnt get an answer on specifics, but then again Ill probably have my answer within the month when the debate rolls around, Fox, who said he is still undecided between Clinton and Sanders, told ABC News. I feel like shes also not trying to be slanderous towards him in any way.

Hillary Clinton has reached new levels with her attacks on Donald Trump.

During a campaign stop at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa on Monday, the Democratic presidential candidate mocked Trumps Make America Great Again stump speech by doing her best impression of the billionaire Republican presidential front-runner.

In front of a crowd of college students, Clinton first went after the seriousness of Trumps candidacy.

I have to admit, Donald Trump is entertaining," she conceded.

Trump is often criticized by his opponents for promising big results without explaining the policies he would use to achieve them. Clinton, who refers to Trump as the "flamboyant front-runner," expressed mock regret that she couldn't follow his lead.

"I have to say, I kind of wish I had this same sort of mentality," she said.

Clinton then launched into a brutal imitation of Trumps campaign rhetoric.

Oh, listen, I dont need to tell you anything. When I get there, peace will be breaking out everywhere, prosperity will be raining down upon you, we will have the new age," she said, pretending to be the Donald.

Clinton concluded her assault on real estate mogul by saying "Well, I would like to do that. But I dont think that is how a great democracy makes its decisions about who will lead us.

Fringe candidate no more, Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders leads former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton among likely Democratic presidential primary voters in the battleground states of Iowa and New Hampshire, according to new polling released on Sunday.

The new CBS/YouGovpoll finds U.S. Sen. Sanders (Vt.) with 52 percent support among Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire, while former frontrunner Clinton receives 30 percent.

Possibly more worrying for the Clinton campaign is her performance in Iowa, writesYouGov U.S. and UK assistant editor William Jordanin that key caucus state, Sanders is now ahead by 10 points, with 43 percent to Clintons 33 percent.

CBS News further notes that [o]ne major difference right now is enthusiasm: Sanders is generating it and Clinton is not. Seventy-eight percent of Sanders voters in New Hampshire and 63 percent of his voters in Iowa, say they enthusiastically support him, while just 39 percent of Clintons backers in New Hampshire and 49 percent in Iowa say they enthusiastically support her.

The CBS analysis continues: Even though many Democrats think both Clinton and Sanders would look out for the middle class, voters in New Hampshire and Iowa are relatively more likely to believe Clinton will enact policies favoring the wealthy. A quarter say so in each of those states, while very few think this is true of Sanders. More Democrats say Sanders policies would favor the poor than say that about Clinton.

In both Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders support is strong among both independent voters and those under age 30.

The more people in Iowa get to know about Bernie the more they like him and what he stands for,said Stephanie Schwinn, Iowas Bremer County Democratic Chair, after a Quinnapiac poll last week showed Sanders surging in the Hawkeye State. His ideas for rebuilding the American middle class and taking on the billionaire class are resonating here in Iowa and across the country.

Sanders, for his part, said last week he was stunned by how swiftly his populist message has caught fire. Did I think [the issues] would resonate as quickly as they have? he askedCNNs Wolf Blitzer on Thursday. The answer is no.
