In September, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) led the Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom Iowa poll for the Democratic primary. Today she has fallen to a distant second place, in a statistical tie with former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
In the previous poll, Warren led the Democratic primary field with 22% of respondents selecting her as their first choice. In the most recent poll, released over the weekend, shows Warren’s support has dropped – now just 16% say she is their first choice for the Democratic nomination. This puts her in a statistical tie for second place with Biden and Sanders, who each received 15% support in the poll. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg has pulled away from his competition to claim first place in the latest poll, with 25% of respondents saying he was their first choice for the nomination. This was a 16-point leap for the Midwestern mayor since the previous poll.
