  • Biden Holds Steady, Warren Slips As the Iowa Caucuses Approach
    ABC NEWS/WASHINGTON POST POLL: 2020 Democrats EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE AFTER 12:01 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020 Biden Holds Steady, Warren Slips As the Iowa Caucuses Approach Joe Biden’s holding his ground in preference nationally for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, with Bernie Sanders close by and a drop in support for Elizabeth Warren. Two new arrivals to the leaderboard come next in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll: Mike Bloomberg and Andrew Yang. With the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses drawing near, 77 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents nationally say they’re satisfied with their choice of candidates. Far fewer, 24 percent, are very satisfied, although that’s near the average in ABC/Post polls since 2000. This poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, finds plenty of room for movement: Just about half of leaned Democrats are very enthusiastic about their choice, and 53 percent say they’d consider supporting a different candidate. Warren, while weaker as a first choice, leads in second-choice preference. Further, while Biden continues to prevail by a wide margin as the candidate with the best chance to defeat Donald Trump in the general election, his score on the measure has slipped slightly, from 45 percent in July to 38 percent now. Eighteen percent pick Sanders as best against Trump; 10 percent, Warren. Biden does best in vote preference among likely voters, defined here as those who say they’re registered and certain to vote in their state’s primary or caucuses. He has 34 percent support in this group, leading Sanders, at 22 percent, and Warren, 14 percent.
