2020 election poll: Joe Biden's lead shrinks to zero against Bernie Sanders in critical Iowa

[Quixote1818]

Joe Biden may be leading national polls among Democratic voters, but a new poll shows his dominance doesn’t necessarily extend to Iowa.

Mr Biden is matched by Bernie Sanders in the state, a sharp drop from his 11 point lead in a separate poll last month. Both candidates can claim 24 per cent support in the state, which will vote first in the nominating process next year.

Mr Biden and Mr Sanders are followed in the new poll by several candidates with significant showings, including Pete Buttigieg (14 per cent), Elizabeth Warren (12 per cent), and Kamala Harris (10 per cent).

Reading into the polls just a bit more, Mr Biden has more to worry about than just Mr Sanders, too.

Ms Warren stands out as the most liked candidate in the race, with a favorability rating at 78 per cent — the top in the race. She is followed by Mr Sanders, who is the next closest with 71 per cent.

Online polls are not reliable.

3. I predict that Bernie will not win

even one primary state. The thrill is gone.

9. He'll win Vermont, worth only 16 delegates, but that's probably it.....

Any others that he does win will be very close so he and Biden will split the delegates.

Iowa will be close, then Biden will win New Hampshire, Nevada, and will win big in South Carolina.

11. I stand corrected

I didn't think of Vermont. I now predict he'll win one stste.

12. ....

13. I can't help wondering if Vermont wishes maybe one or two of the others lived there...

This "favorite son" stuff only goes so far. 'Specially when you've got a "favorite niece" right next door.

14. Vermont is surrounded by women rivals - Gillibrand in NY and Warren in MA.

4. Iowa. LOL.

No disrespect to the state, but the idea that Iowa is critical is a pile of shit. It's one state, and not a very big one.

5. Hold the phone

it is still early for all,however Biden has the best path,at this time,,even though ya' can't win em all folks

[SharonClark]

6. It's a poll of Iowa Caucus goers, the most liberal of Dems

I'm not surprised. Sanders barely lost to Hillary in 2016 and he retains much of that support.
Biden was never strong in Iowa during his past runs.
