Sanders climbs, now tied with Biden among registered voters: Reuters poll
Quote:
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has been steadily climbing in popularity this year and is now tied with former Vice President Joe Biden for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination among registered voters, according to a Reuters/Ipsos national poll.
The online poll, released Thursday, shows that 20% of registered Democrats and independents said they would back Sanders over 11 other candidates to run in the general election against President Donald Trump, an increase of 2 percentage points from a similar poll that ran last week.
Another 19% supported Biden, 12% said they would vote for Senator Elizabeth Warren, 9% backed former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and 6% said they would support Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
Sanders and Bloomberg have increased their level of support in each of the last three Reuters/Ipsos polls starting in mid-December, while support for Biden, Warren, and Buttigieg has remained flat.

Bernie Sanders Leads All Democratic Candidates in New Hampshire, Poll Shows
Quote:
Sanders is leading the field in New Hampshire at 23 percent, followed by former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 18 percent, and former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren both at 14 percent.
"While Bernie Sanders remains in the lead in New Hampshire, it appears his supporters are doubting that he will be the actual nominee, with only 49 percent expecting him to win the nomination," Spencer Kimball, Emerson College's polling director, said in a press release. "On the flip side, Joe Biden supporters are confident, with 87 percent thinking he will be the nominee."
Senator Amy Klobuchar succeeded Warren at 10 percent, followed by entrepreneur Andrew Yang at 6 percent, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard at 5 percent, and billionaire Tom Steyer at 4 percent.
On February 11, New Hampshire will be the second state to decide which Democratic candidate voters prefer to nominate on the 2020 ballot, and it will be the first to do so via primary.
