Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) took the lead in a new Des Moines Register Iowa poll on Saturday night, marking the first time the Massachusetts Senator led both former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the first caucus state in the poll.
According to the new survey, Warren narrowly leads at 22 percent, with Biden following at 20 and Sanders at 11 percent. No other candidate reached double digits but South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg followed at 9 percent, with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) at 6 percent to round out the top five. Additionally, the poll found that Warren was drawing the support of 32 percent of those who say that they caucused for Sanders in 2016 and that she narrowly led him among voters under age 35.
“It’s the first time we’ve had someone other than Joe Biden at the top of the leader board,” J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., which conducted the poll, said.
The poll comes as Sanders’ campaign has shaken up its staff in two early voting states.
The Independent from Vermont remains at or near the top of most primary polls and no other candidate has matched his fundraising and grassroots organization capacity. But even with his staying power, he has been increasingly eclipsed in the eyes of opponents by Warren (D-MA) as the main progressive force in the race.

I agree with Madison10. That woman comes across as an angry itchB. Not any grandmother I’ve ever met.
Unless where you come from grandmothers are angry old women with a stone cold demeanor.
She’ll beat Joe like a drum.
She has no black support. Can’t win the Dem nomination without it.
She can sell her book “Pow-wow Chow” at her rallies.
True, but do you think YOUNG voters will vote for Warren?
“She has that “harmless grandmother” look that ILLary absolutely lacked. Many people,particularly women,will ignore what she has to say and vote for “Grandma”.”
The only men that would vote for her are pajama boys.
The young don’t vote.
None of the top three candidates has actually ever accomplished anything in their lives.
Yes they have been elected to public office and been reelected to office but if you are running in a safe district that is no accomplishment.
That’s true...but a greater percentage of women vote than men.
Michell Bachman all over again. Don’t peak until the day of the caucus.
So now Warren is the First Loser.
Chief Lying Sacajawea will be the Democrat nominee.
Smoke signal make-um good.
She has no black support. Can’t win the Dem nomination without it.

That’s the key thing and it’s that key thing that’s been keeping slow Joe’s head above water till now.
Irrelevant, as the Electoral College chooses the President.
Liawatha is ten times more likable
To whom?
to so many frivolous Americans (particularly women)...than was ILLary.
They're not going to vote for her. Her support is a mile wide but a centimeter deep.
Look, even Wall Street and Silicon Valley - two Democrat pillars of donor money - are afraid of her. She's basically a Senate version of AOC. Plus she lied about her background and Trump is going to point that out.
Trump has 2020 in the bag. These Dem candidates, they are getting their names out there for 2024, that's all.
Scrong!A new FR classic!
