A new Des Moines Register/CNN poll in Iowa finds Joe Biden is the first choice for president of likely Iowa Democratic caucus-goers with 27%, followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders at 25%, Sen. Elizabeth Warren At 9%, Sen. Kamala Harris at 7% and Beto O’Rourke at 5%.
Said pollster Ann Selzer: “If I’m Joe Biden sitting on the fence and I see this poll, this might make me want to jump in. I just can’t find much in this poll that would be a red flag for Joe Biden.”
