DES MOINES — Senator Bernie Sanders has opened up a lead in Iowa just over a week before the Democratic caucuses, consolidating support from liberals and benefiting from divisions among more moderate presidential candidates who are clustered behind him, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll of likely caucusgoers.

Mr. Sanders has gained six points since the last Times-Siena survey, in late October, and is now capturing 25 percent of the vote in Iowa.






Which of these Democrats would be your first choice in the Iowa caucuses?

Sanders 25%

Buttigieg 18%

Biden 17%

Warren 15%

Klobuchar 8%

Steyer 3%

Yang 3%

2. Warren dropped 7 points since October, Sanders has gained 6.

Buttigieg and Biden are unchanged. I'm not sure that was what they were hoping for when they trained their big guns onto her in November.
