Biden, Sanders lead field in Iowa poll
Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) lead the field of potential Democratic candidates for the 2020 presidential election, according to a poll of likely Iowa caucus-goers released Saturday.
Biden was the first choice of 32 percent of respondents, and Sanders, who finished second in the Democratic primary in 2016, followed with 19 percent.
"This is obviously a warm welcome to some people who are really familiar to caucusgoers in the state," said J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co., the firm that conducted the poll. "But there’s also some welcoming of newcomers who are only now starting to come to the state and get to know the people who could shape their future."
Despite the top two candidates being veteran politicians, 36 percent of respondents said that a political "newcomer" is best suited to defeat the President Trump, according to the Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom poll.
