The Des Moines Register

Results of a new Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom Iowa Poll on Democratic presidential candidates headed toward the 2020 Iowa caucuses will be released online at 7 p.m. CST Saturday.

The poll asks likely Democratic caucusgoers who their top choice for president would be among 20 potential candidates for their party’s nomination. Results also will be aired by CNN, posted at CNN.com Saturday night and appear in the Des Moines Sunday Register.

The poll will also test likely Democratic caucusgoers’ opinions on a range of issues, from "Medicare-for-all" to their interest in socialism to what they would like candidates to talk about during their campaigns.
