Biden edges Warren in Iowa state fair straw poll

[left-of-center2012]

Former Vice President Joe Biden edged Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) by a margin of just 10 votes, according to results from the Iowa State Fair Straw Poll.

The poll, which is unscientific and "intended for entertainment purposes only," found that 17.7 percent of voters said they support the former vice president, while 17.2 said they support the progressive Massachusetts senator.

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) came in third place, scoring 14 percent of the vote, while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) came in fourth place with 10 percent of the vote.

The poll was conducted via iPads with more than 4,000 fairgoers who recently attended the Iowa State Fair that ran from Aug. 8 to 18. Though unscientific, the office of the Iowa Secretary of State, which released the poll, said it has previously been "a pretty good indicator" of the caucus results.
