Iowa: Buttigieg 25, Warren 16, Sanders 15, Biden 15
Hotair ^ | 11/16/2019

FROM THE DE MOINES REGISTER

Since September, Buttigieg has risen 16 percentage points among Iowa’s likely Democratic caucusgoers, with 25% now saying he is their first choice for president. For the first time in the Register’s Iowa Poll, he bests rivals Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who are now clustered in competition for second place and about 10 percentage points behind the South Bend, Indiana, mayor.

Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, led the September Iowa Poll, when 22% said she was their first choice. In this poll, her support slips to 16%. Former Vice President Biden, who led the Register’s first three Iowa Polls of the 2020 caucus cycle, has continued to slide, falling 5 percentage points to 15%. Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, also garners 15% — a 4 percentage point rise…

More respondents — 30% now, compared with 20% in September — say they have a first choice and their minds are made up. That still leaves ample opportunity for more surges and slides in the two-and-a-half months before the caucuses: 62% say they have a first choice but could still be persuaded, 1% are unsure and 7% have not made a first choice. In September, 16% of caucusgoers said they had not made a first choice.

Obama got a serious boost from Iowa in 2008.

Hillary actually came in THIRD!

So iowa DIMs love the most someone who boo-foos. i guess it is like choosing while pile of dog “stuff’ is the “best”? Oh, well. If America has any sanity left in it, they will all lose.

He’s a “catcher” so he’d be the first “lady” (my apologies to any ladies out there).

It’s easier to laugh at all of them and put our heads in the ground and make believe that 2019 America Couldn’t put a gay guy in office.

That he’s in the top 4 ANYWHERE in ANY state of A MAJOR PARTY is pretty ####ing horrifying no matter what happens.

I think they’re pushing the next identity group on the list. Black...check. Female....tried in 2016 but failed. Next, homosexual. Let’s promote the homosexual.

I don’t hold any confidence in any polling. The Iowa caucus setup is so insanely crazy that I don’t think anyone can remotely accurately predict how they will turn out.

But yes, none of them can beat Trump

You are right. I remember laughing, years ago, when I first heard the name Barak Hussein Obama. I said to myself, “Ha! He must be crazy. There’s no way on God’s green earth that Americans are going to vote for anyone named Hussein! Especially after 9/11!”

Having said that, I still think voter fraud was working for Obama, especially in 2012.

If this is true, what kind of snake oil is ButtPlug pushing, or are there that many of his kind in Iowa?

Let Mean Little Pete enjoy his temporary “success.” He will become more vocal, arrogant, militantly gay, and shame real Christians more than ever.

His day of reckoning is coming.

This is looking more and more like a high school team preparing to play the New England Patriots.

Iowa will be renamed: The Cornhole State.

Good. He will never get the black vote. And he would need to win against Trump. Neither would Warren.

I work in a company that is 80% black. Let me tell you, that they aren’t into the whole homosexual thing. I’ve heard as much, uttered or whispered at work.

Buttplug will also not get the REAL evangelical Christian vote.

He is militantly pro infanticide and sodomite marriage, yet he marches around claiming what a good Christian he is.

....And shame on you for not knuckling under to his false, self-serving interpretations of the Bible!

Buttplug, Plugs Biden, Grey Beaver, and Crazy Bernie are also WHITE CRACKAH snotty elitists.

All of them look down on blacks as victimized animals who are too helpless and stupid to acquire ID’s for voting.

Iowa and New Hampshire act as qualifying rounds for the later states primaries.

While Iowa may not be a predictor of who wins the nomination or presidency, Iowa definitely helps winnow the field down.

It’s a summary of the answers to an unexpected phone call at an inopportune moment about a subject the folks hadn’t though much of. The answers are based on name recognition, the emotion of the moment, and on fleeting impressions.

They should not be taken very seriously.

However, I’m happy that established politicians such as warren/biden/sanders/booker/harris are being snubbed in favor of a small town mayor.

Saying that Buttigieg rockets to the top is a bit of hyperbole, no?
