“Former VP Joe Biden led our first poll and leads the final poll with 25% which is identical to his support in our September 2019 survey. Sen. Elizabeth Warren remains in second with 17% but slips 6 points from her September standing,” the group notes of the poll’s findings.

“Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders maintain their 3rd and 4th place positions with 16% and 14% respectively up 4 and 5 points from the September poll. Sen. Klobuchar remains in 5th but is moving closer to the viability threshold with 11% of the vote.”
