Mirroring yesterday’s CNN poll Quinnipiac is showing a surge for Harris, Warren now ahead of Bernie, and lowered numbers for Biden and Sanders, in Biden’s case much lower numbers.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris in virtual tie for Democratic nomination, new poll shows
Sen. Kamala Harris has catapulted into a virtual tie with Joe Biden in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination following her widely praised debate performance last week, a new national poll released Tuesday showed.
The latest Quinnipiac University poll showed Biden with 22 percent support and Harris with 20 percent — a double-digit jump for her since the university's previous poll last month.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., were in third and fourth place in the poll, with 14 percent and 13 percent, respectively. South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg came in fifth with 4 percent support.
Biden's two percentage point lead over Harris was within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus five percentage points.
The poll suggests a substantial upswing for Harris and a notable decline for the former vice president. In the Quinnipiac's poll of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters last month, Biden received the support of 30 percent of the respondents, while Sanders had 19 percent, Warren had 15 percent and Buttigieg had 8 percent.
