Elizabeth Warren Leads Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders for First Time in New Iowa Poll
Daily Beast ^

Posted on 09/21/2019 6:31:48 PM PDT by bryan999

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 see Trump improving his percentage of the black and Hispanic vote and expanding his dominance of white blue collar and rural voters. Plus Warren is too radical to appeal to the suburban voters. They aren’t going to like her proposed tax increases. She is well to the left of the Clintons. Biden would be a stronger candidate and possibly even Sanders, both of whom would do better in the minority communities and with union workers.

This feels like 1972 to me. The Dim’s will likely nominate a far left candidate,Trump will win in a landslide and will resign 2 years later....

If Warren gets the nomination, Trump should have a field day.

The media wants Warren and Butt-lique. And then they will shocked when the Republicans win bigger than in 1984. The left will never learn.

very true- she needs some black support-
just analyzed demographics of vote totals: : of the Dems vote total in any national election it is 66% “people of color” (Blacks,Hispanics and Asians, Native Americans) and 25 of that or almost 25% of their (dems) total vote is blacks. Blacks vote 92% dem and vote higher in general elections than primary.

White liberals or independents are only 1/3 of their vote-

There's nothing "Grandmotherly" about her. She's a Marxist thug and Trump is going to beautifully exploit that.

Of course there's nothing "grandmotherly" about her character...unless,of course,you see grandmothers as routinely stabbing their grand kids in the back.My point is that she's grandmotherly in her appearance and demeanor and that there are many frivolous people...mainly women...who will vote for her *solely* for that reason.Just as those same people voted for Osama Obama because of his skin tone.

We underestimate the stupidity of the American voter at our peril.

I've got some bad news for ya...the "typical" American voter is quite a bit further to the left recently than he/she/it was in 1972.

Need proof? I give you the national vote totals in '08...'12...*and* '16.

“True, but do you think YOUNG voters will vote for Warren?”

That’s what VP Candidate Mayor Pete is for.

"America voted for Osama Obama..twice...because of the way he looked. They absolutely ignored what he had to say."

It's absolutely terrifying to think the American people could be so foolish... And what's even MORE terrifying is that it seems to be getting worse every year... Every graduating class coming out of the government schools is worse then the one before it...

I agree with this... I think she’ll spark an initial interest to those who previously backed Biden, but once she starts opening her mouth and has to explain all her ideas to the Rust Belt, she will quickly become exposed. Couple that with her race re-appropriation baggage which is horrifying , as well as her general un-likability among independents, and I think Trump will be able to fully deconstruct her well before Election Day.

I would not be surprised if she has dirty Clinton money backing her now. Have she and Hillary Rotten been scheming behind the scenes...?

Dude, take the L, OK?
The American people aren’t the dumbasses that they were in 2008 or even in 2016, otherwise Hillary would have won, and she had total support from the media and Hollywood.

That’s what VP Candidate Mayor Pete is for. I guess he would work as a VP. Why not Beto?
