Buttigieg closes on Biden, Warren in Iowa: poll
By Rebecca Klar - 10/21/19 07:32 AM EDT

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg now stands at third place in Iowa, according to a new poll, closely trailing former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in the early caucus state.

Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Ind., has the support of 13 percent of 500 likely Democratic caucus goers, based on a Suffolk University/USA Today poll released Monday.

That places him just behind Biden and Warren, who are in dead-heat for first place at 18 and 17 percent, respectively.

The poll also found that Buttigieg holds a narrow lead over Warren and Biden among debate-watchers, with 19 percent support compared to 17 percent for each of them, according to the poll.

The new poll shows a big jump for Buttigieg, who was polling at just 6 percent among likely caucus goers in a June poll. Warren also shot up 4 points from 13 percent since June.

But...but...I read it right here on DU that he's "too short." cwydro Oct 2019 #4

Someone said he couldn't win because he was too short. cwydro Oct 2019 #21

meh. delegates can be released. mopinko Oct 2019 #12

And which candidate do you see doing that? FBaggins Oct 2019 #13

no idea really, but i would suspect that biden, if he came in second or worse, mopinko Oct 2019 #15

Right now I think it's more complicated than that FBaggins Oct 2019 #26

That was because he finally got some exposure. Ligyron Oct 2019 #11

great poll for Pete, let's hope he continues his rise, glad to see Biden still doing well too Celerity Oct 2019 #14

I support Pete, but am happy we have so many candidates I can easily AllyCat Oct 2019 #16

A strong second finish in IA does not tip the contest (necessarily) crazytown Oct 2019 #18

He will do good where black voters are few Piiolo Oct 2019 #19

more numbers on the debate, big winners, Buttigieg and Klobuchar, big loser, Biden Celerity Oct 2019 #20

Still a way to go and lots of "undecided" but at this rate only Biden and Warren will get delegates. George II Oct 2019 #22

I disagree FBaggins Oct 2019 #30

There may be a few delegates awarded based on District results, but not many at all, if any. George II Oct 2019 #33

But this poll shows Biden/Warren with barely over 15% themselves FBaggins Oct 2019 #35

Correct, that's why I said that it's early, lots of "undecideds", and "at this rate"... George II Oct 2019 #36

Go Buttigieg! NT TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #23

I predict that Biden will win this primary. Wrote it down so I can correct myself efhmc Oct 2019 #27

The Undecideds overwhelm all of the individual results. MineralMan Oct 2019 #28

Are you saying national polls arent how we elect our candidate? Joe941 Oct 2019 #29

Not really. I see people talking about individual state results all the time. I know I have... George II Oct 2019 #34

No surprise that you're the only making that argument LanternWaste Oct 2019 #43
