On Saturday, a shocking new De Moines Register poll out of Iowa shows South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg leading all other Democrat opponents at 25%, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the next leading Democrat, trailing him by 9 percentage points at 16%.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), and former Vice President Joe Biden sitting at 15% each. The next leading democrat is Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), with other candidates Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Kamala Harris (D-CA), Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), billionaire Tom Steyer, and businessman Andrew Yang all tied with 3%. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg sits at 2%, with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) barely hanging on at 1%.
2% of voters chose “none of these” as an answer, 5% said “not sure,” and all other candidates’ numbers were so statistically insignificant, that they registered at 0%.
With Pete Buttigieg’s huge 16% gain since September’s Des Moines Register poll, it appears the young mayor is appealing to the voters of Iowa, the first state to caucus for the presidential primary. Although the February Democrat primary election is less than three months away, Buttigieg’s numbers will be hard for Warren, Sanders, and Biden to chip away at, especially since a similar poll just came out this week showing Buttigieg with 19% versus Warren’s 18%.
The Democrat primary, at least as of now, looks to be a bloody fight against Elizabeth Warren (Pocahontas as President Trump calls her), and Pete Buttigieg (which his campaign very clearly markets as BOOT-EDGE-EDGE, phonetically pronounced).
