Buttigieg jumps to third pace in early Iowa poll - ahead of Harris, Warren and Booker

In a surprising development an early Iowa 2020 presidential poll finds South Bend, Indiana “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg has jumped from essentially last place – literally 0% – to third place among declared and not-declared Democratic candidates.

Former Vice President Joe Biden comes in first, with 25%, despite having yet to announce if he is running or not, according to the Emerson poll. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders comes in second with 24%. Buttigieg comes in third, with 11%.

Buttigieg narrowly beats Senators Kamala Harris (10%), Elizabeth Warren (9%), and Cory Booker (8%).

Former U.S. Congressman Beto O’Rourke takes 5%, Senator Amy Klobuchar takes 2%. The remaining candidates are polling at 1% or less.

“If Buttigieg is able to maintain his momentum, his candidacy appears to be pulling from the same demographic of young voters as Sanders, and that could become a problem for Sanders,” Spencer Kimball, Director of the Emerson Poll says.

That is amazing for a pretty much no-name-recognition candidate.

since I’ve jumped on the Boot-edge-edge bandwagon. I really like what he has to say, and I like that he talks about wanting to serve the American people which he’s been doing most of his life. And Pete seems humble and decent, 2 qualities I’m even more excited about since the orange moron was sworn in.

A Buttigieg/Harris or Harris/Buttigieg ticket would be fantastic in my opinion, since I favor both candidates.

But in the end, I will vote for the candidates with the (D) in front of their name.
