As for who will be the eventual nominee, more Democratic primary voters choose Sanders (30%) than name Biden (23%), and the response “not sure” landed in third place (17%) before Bloomberg (11%). No other candidate reached double digits as an anticipated winner of the eventual nomination.
For the last few weeks, Biden has been losing his large advantage among African-American voters. About two in five (38%) now say he is their first choice for President, down from 43 percent last week, and 51 percent a month ago. Sanders and Bloomberg now compete for second place with black voters. About one in five (19%) say they favor Sanders and 17 percent support Bloomberg.
While majorities of Democratic voters believe Biden, Sanders, and Bloomberg would defeat President Donald Trump, they are still divided about Buttigieg’s chances. There are two factors likely limiting a Buttigieg rise in the polls, something that is often associated with a victory in Iowa.
