The
Iowa caucuses are finally here, and recent polls show a tight race in
the Democratic primary, with Senator Bernie Sanders and former Vice
President Joe Biden leading the pack.
But this last stretch of voting ahead of iowa caucuses is not without drama. An expected poll by J.Ann Selzer and the Des Moines Register, scheduled for Saturday, failed to come out after former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, complained to Mayor Pete Buttigieg that he was excluded from some polls.
Apart from this failed poll, seven major polls have been released in Iowa in the past two weeks, with the latest from Monmouth University, Shevic, and Emerson College.
Monmouth's results, released last Wednesday, found Biden at the forefront -- as it was nationally -- with 23 percent of potential conference leaders saying they supported him. However, his progress was far from comfortable. Sanders came in second, with 21 percent support;
The only other candidates monmouth found to have more than 1 percent support were businessmen Tom Steyer and Andrew Yang, with 4 percent and 3 percent support, respectively. The poll has a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points, making the delta among the candidates probably more narrow than it seems.
Civiqs, which conducted an online survey opposed to the Monmouth telephone survey, completed the voting process during the same time period as Monmouth (January 23-27), but found a slightly different result.
Sanders leads the Civiqs poll, with the support of 24 percent of potential conference-goers. Warren came in second with 19 percent. Buttigieg III, with 17 percent; The Klobuchar is still fifth, with the support of 11 percent of potential rallygoers.
