Warren passes Biden in a new national poll

A new national survey shows that Elizabeth Warren is now at the top of the 2020 Democrats' group, reinforcing her rise in the party's presidential primary after two polls showing her leading the first two primary states.

Twenty-seven percent of Democratic Democrats and independents surveyed by Quinnipiac University said they were in favor of Warren, according to a new poll released Wednesday morning. Twenty-five percent said they preferred former vice president Joe Biden.

Although Warren's breakthrough is within the margin of error of the study, Biden's strong lead over the rest of the field has collapsed since the last national Quinnipiac poll in August, which showed it with a 32% support and Warren with 19% support.

The latest survey confirms other recent public polls showing Warren and Biden separating from their competitors in the race for the Democratic presidency. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was third in Tuesday's vote with 16% support, followed by Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, State with 7%, and the Senator from California. , Kamala Harris, at 3%.

"After following double-digit Biden since March in the Democratic nomination race, Warren catches Biden," said Tim Malloy, survey analyst at Quinnipiac University, in a statement. they leave the rest of the pack behind. "

Warren also beat Biden in a poll released Saturday between 22% and 20% of Iowa caucus supporters, as well as in a poll released Tuesday to Democratic New Hampshire primary voters, between 27% and 25%. Both candidates are statistically related in both surveys.

The new Quinnipiac survey comes after the Warren campaign announced Tuesday an advertising campaign of at least $ 10 million. The survey is the latest to show that Biden is returning to its status as a once-assured Democratic leader – with decreasing support in the first crucial competitions to determine the trajectory of the larger primary race.

Quinnipiac University's national ballot was held from September 19 to 23. He polled 561 Democratic voters and lean independent voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
