1. Holy Moly!!! Go Pete GO!!! nt

[LakeArenal]

2. I like Pete.

[highplainsdem]

7. I do, too. And I like seeing that two candidates who DON'T want MFA have 40% in that poll,

compared to 31% for the two candidates who want MFA.

And actually, if you count the support for Klobuchar, it's 46%.

3. Honestly 38

is just too young. I personally think 50 is the right age. Iowa is pathetic.

[Quackers]

9. Iowa isn't pathetic because you don't like how your candidate is polling.

And the founding fathers seem to think his age is just fine for president.

[Unclephil]

11. that has nothing to do with it

It is not representative of any normal democratic state and the caucus system is terrible.

[pink]

18. The age of 38

is absolutely representative of the future. Pete represents all the younger generations that have to deal with climate change which is the crisis that the older politicians have ignored up until now.

14. In 2008 Iowa went for Barack Obama.....pretty pathetic, huh.

[book_worm]

4. Very good news for Pete and very bad news for Warren

But he will now be the target in the next debate.

[Quackers]

10. I think you're right.

With the recent surge in the polls, he is now a prime target. Seeing how he handles it is exactly what we need. Everyone need proper vetting.

[brooklynite]

16. That's fine with me...

To be a solid candidate, he’ll need to be able to stand up to the pressure.

[femmedem]

26. Yes, he will be the target but he will get plenty of speaking time.

Yes, he will be the new target, but he will get plenty of speaking time.

It will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure. I expect he will shine, but it will be a test for sure.

5. Mayor Pete is kicking it in Iowa.. no 2 ways about that

I like Mayor Pete.. but he does not have enough seasoning for the White House.. He has been the mayor of a good sized city.. he just does not have the connections yet. That is my opinion, we are going to need someone who can hit the ground running day one. But there is no denying that he is doing good here. People like him..

[FloridaBlues]

6. Have to agree 37 and Mayor small town not going to fix the mess trump is leaving us.

[flamingdem]

8. +1000

He's not the one to take us out of the current mess.

[UncleNoel]

12. Outside of Iowa, serious problems that won't translate IMO to the national stage

Note the just posted Nevada poll:

New Nevada Democratic Presidential Caucus poll
Biden 24,
Warren 18,
Sanders 18,
Buttigieg 8

And se know about SC. Iowa alone won't make it for Pete.

[StevieM]

13. If he wins Iowa then he will get a huge burst of publicity that will benefit him in Nevada.

And he is already rising in New Hampshire.

You are right about South Carolina. He definitely has more work to do there.

[Thekaspervote]

15. This!! He has a bright future, but not as #46. He should run for congress or gov.. get some

Real political accomplishments first!!

[Skya Rhen]

17. Well, Warren certainly isn't the front-runner anymore - that's for sure...

[Lexblues]

23. Notice how quiet the media is about this poll

as compared with Warren started leading in this poll...

[wiley]

24. Front page of the NYTimes and every internet news site is not quiet

This made local news in Central Penn!

[Eradri]

19. Gabbard at 3%

Unchanged.
So much for that "bump".

[nsd]

20. ? Gabbard is at 3%. /nt

[boomer_wv]

21. I'd

rather Biden get the win in Iowa, but if he could manage it, coming in 2nd would be a pretty big deal for him overall. Buttigieg is my 2nd choice of the field at this point.

As far as Warren and Sanders go, I'm not sure that either of them could stand a 4th place finish. In this poll there isn't any real difference in Warren, Biden, and Sanders so any order could happen there. If it were a Buttigieg/Biden/Warren/Sanders finish, where does that leave us?

[Thekaspervote]

22. Failed to mention here.. this same IA poll- voters are not confident the mayor would beat dotard

Biden coming in third place in the latest poll, but this interesting nugget is a bit buried, re: confidence in who could beat Trump: “Among all poll respondents, 52% say they are fairly confident or almost certain Biden will beat Trump.”

And Just 27% of his *own* supporters say they are “almost certain” he can beat President Trump. That’s 30 points behind Biden in a poll where Democrats saying winning is the most important thing.

25. Thanks, Kasper! I just posted a new OP on the Register's separate article about that!
