He is polling comparably to how Elizabeth Warren is polling.
I expect that the race will narrow to 2 or 3 candidates after Super Tuesday. Most of the field will stay in until then. Maybe Steyer and Gabbard will drop out after South Carolina.

is a state his campaign thinks it can do well in. Largely white with a lot of high income professional people.

(2,227 posts)6. If anyone really cares to understand Mayor Pete
watch the Youtube video: Pete Buttigieg, The Big Gay Interview, with the Advocate reporter.
You will get why we Pete fans are so enthusiastic and supportive.
We need a communicator, and Pete fills that requirement, more than any of the other candidates. He is going to have to communicate to the American people in a way that gets past the barriers, explaining what we are facing, and then bringing together the people who will have to offer solutions.
He will need to communicate with world leaders to bring us back into being a nation that provides answers and guidance. He can obviously do that.
People question his age. Sound bytes and quickie questions with a 90 minute response time are not adequate. This interview exhibits an intelligence and maturity that is far beyond his age.
He presents an alternative vision. We are going to need that. The usual solutions haven't worked, and are no longer relevant.
We NEED to examine the alternatives. Doing more of the same is not going to cut it.
If the American people actually get a chance to listen to him, in depth, he will win them over.
Please watch the interview.
