South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg captured second place in a Democratic primary poll released Tuesday, surging ahead of Elizabeth Warren, but still trailing Joe Biden.

The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, showed Buttigieg received support from 16 percent of Democratic voters and independents who lean Democratic.

Fourteen percent of those polled backed Warren, while Biden enjoyed support of 24 percent of those voters, according to the survey.

Biden polled ahead because of his experience on health care, which was the most important issue for 26 percent of those polled.

“Buttigieg has broken into the top tier, apparently at the expense of Warren, who has taken a dive after being hammered for being too far left on health care and other issues,” polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a statement.

According to the poll, a Medicare-for-all position is unpopular among all registered voters, with just 36 percent saying it’s a good idea, compared to 52 percent who oppose it.

In addition, only 14 percent of Democratic voters and independents who lean Democratic responded that President Barack Obama was “not liberal enough.” In contrast, 80 percent said he was “about right.”
