.MaddowBlog: Latest Iowa poll points to a Democratic top tier for 2020 race.
We’ve reached an interesting point in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. The largest field in U.S. history is set; the debates are poised to begin; and there’s some helpful polling to give us a sense of who’s in the top tier – at least for now.
Selzer & Co., widely seen as producing the best and most reliable polling in the Hawkeye State, last surveyed Iowa Democrats in March, and for most of the field, there’s been quite a bit of movement over the last three months:Kamala Harris: 7% So, as the race enters a new phase, what can we take away from these results? A few things stood out for me:
* Warren is moving in the right direction: Aside from the Massachusetts Democrat’s obvious poll bounce from March, the Des Moines Register/Mediacom/CNN Iowa Poll also asked respondents to name their second choice and candidates that local voters are “actively considering.” Given the way the Iowa caucuses work, these are important metrics.* Buttigieg doesn’t appear to be a fluke: No other Democrat gained more in this poll than the South Bend mayor.
