Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who stumbled badly last year when she opened her presidential campaign with a genetic test to prove her Native American heritage, has quietly moved into a dead heat for second place in the race for the Democratic nomination.

A new YouGov national poll is the first to actually show Warren in second place, just behind Joe Biden who leads her 27% to 16%. Bernie Sanders is third at 12%. But a new Quinnipiac University national poll also had Warren within the margin of error versus Sanders for second place.

And a new Iowa poll over the weekend also found her within the margin of error against Sanders.

It’s not a stretch to say Warren is now essentially tied with Sanders as the leading alternative to Biden.

Obviously it’s early, and the first debates are looming, but Warren has recovered nicely from her early missteps.
