Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders maintained his polling lead ahead of all 2020 Democratic presidential candidates among college students, while former Vice President Joe Biden was overwhelmingly ignored, according to a recent survey.of Democrat and Democrat-leaning U.S. college students with 30 percent of support. He was followed by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren with 26 percent, and Andrew Yang, who at 10 percent had the most consistent week-over-week increases in backing.
The weekly poll of more than 1,500 U.S. college students showed Warren picking up three percentage points since last week as Sanders held steady for the third week at 30 percent. Sanders' highest polling percentage was in March when he held onto exactly one-third of support before dipping to his lowest of 24 percent in May, and again in late July before rebounding.
Warren has seen the largest increase in support since the college student poll started last spring, having more than quadrupled her support from just 6 percent in March to now 26 percent. Last week, Warren surpassed Biden as the Democratic front-runner in several polls, including a four percentage-point lead over him in the latest Economist/YouGov. Sanders was the only other candidate to receive double-digit support in that survey.
Falling behind Sanders, Warren, Yang and Biden in the poll to round out the top five is South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, with 7 percent; former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke with 4 percent; and California Senator Kamala Harris with 3 percent, a drop of one point.
