Once again, polls show Elizabeth Warren on the upswing as her chief critic Mayor Pete Buttigieg declines in the latest polls.
It's nice to see this after the media onslaught over her health care plans fueled by Mayor Pete Buttigieg's criticism. Warren, and Amy Klobuchar, have been held to a much stricter standard than their male counterparts by the media. As Amy Klobuchar said after the last debate, no woman with Mayor Pete's credentials and sparse experience would EVER be taken seriously by the media as a Presidential candidate.
It's enheartening to see misogny can't keep two good women down!

Sanders 18%
Warren 16%
Buttigieg 7%

FYI: Mouse-ing over the Warren trendline shows the latest individual polls that are turning around her numbers. Mouse-ing over the Buttigieg trendline shows his pronounced drop in the individual polls also.

The thing that makes Elizabeth Warren great is that she is a resilient! After a decline in her polling mid-quarter, due mostly to her being held to a different standard by the media over her health care plans, her national numbers are moving back up again AND her polling in the early states like Iowa are also on the upswing!
Warren, along with Amy Klobuchar, has been held to a higher, more stringent standard than their male counterparts in the press, so it's enheartening to see both women overcoming that bias as we head into Iowa and Super Tuesday!
Warren back on the rise in Iowa!

Great job by Team Warren! My heart leapt when I read this email from Roger Lau!
This fund raising surge from small donors along with her resurgence in the latest polls shows Elizabeth Warren is ready to fight for all of us and for the changes we all need as average middle class people trying to get by in an economy rigged to pamper the richest 1%.
Roger Lau: Warren has BEST fundraising day to date!
A few days before Tuesday's quarterly FEC fundraising report, we leveled with you.
We shared that we were still a good chunk behind our third quarter fundraising and set a goal of $20 million goal by December 31, which was what we'd need to raise to keep our plans on track.
Well today, I'm excited to share some great news with you. Thanks to supporters like you who stepped up and chipped in, we beat our goal and raised more than $21.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. And we saw a strong surge of support at the end — over $1.5 million came in on the last day of the year alone, our best fundraising day to date.
Team Warren is ready to dream big, fight hard, and win. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'll dig deeper into the numbers in just a sec, but first, I've got a quick and important plug. We hit our goal for 2019, but it's 2020 now, and we've got new, must-hit daily targets. Money we raise every day in January will get sent straight into connecting with voters and caucus-goers, and the first votes are just a few weeks away.
We can't slow down. Please make another contribution if you can right now to keep fighting by Elizabeth's side.
