Over half of all Icelanders would vote for Hillary Clinton if they had the vote in the 2016 US presidential elections, according to a new poll.
Republican candidates clearly leave Icelanders cold, with Democrat candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders sweeping up 91% of all Icelandic votes between them.
