Sen. Bernie Sanders surged into first place in a new CNN poll, the first time a CNN poll did not find Joe Biden alone at the top since the race began.
WASHINGTON – The fight for the Democratic presidential nomination remains in flux as voters in early states prepare to cast the first ballots in the race next month, according to a pair of national polls released Wednesday.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts was third at 14% and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg was fourth at 11% . Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg came in at 5%, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota tied entrepreneur Andrew Yang at 4%. The rest of the field had 2% or less support.
Story continues"With the exception of Bloomberg’s entry, this race looks pretty much like it did six months ago," Monmouth University Polling Institute director Patrick Murray said."But that stability masks the potential for sizable swings once the first contests are held. Iowa and New Hampshire will play a major role in shaping national voter preferences."
Sanders' support in the CNN poll is surprising given that 57% of Democratic primary and caucus voters say the most important thing is that the nominee can beat Trump, while 35% say what matters is whether they agree with the candidate on all the issues. Forty-five percent thought Biden had the best chance to beat Trump, compared with 24% who said Sanders does.
