Senator Kamala Harris was the only other candidate to rank in the double digits, trailing Buttigieg by 1 percent.
Pete Buttigieg has jumped to third place in a new poll of the Ioawa caucus released Sunday, which ranked support for Democratic 2020 presidential candidates.
Pete Buttigeig, Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, speaks during a news conference on January 23 in Washington, D.C. Alex Wong/Getty Images Although Buttigieg has not formally declared his candidacy, only having formed an exploratory committee thus far, he passed the 65,000 donor threshold earlier this month to participate in the Democratic presidential debates. An editorial published by CNN on Friday hailed Buttigieg as the “hottest candidate in the 2020 race right now,” comparing the enthusiasm surrounding him to that for Barack Obama when he first ran for president in 2008.
Many have said Buttigieg’s presidential ambitions are a long shot. But he recently told Newsweek in an interview that he would run to win.
