Bernie Sanders Has Narrow Lead in New National Poll
The survey, conducted for CNN, is the first national debate-qualifying poll showing Mr. Sanders in the lead. Joe Biden was close behind in the poll and led another.
A new national poll shows Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont with a lead in a national debate qualifying poll for the first time in the 2020 Democratic primary, while a second national survey conducted by a different pollster shows former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. in front.
The first poll, conducted by SSRS for CNN and released early Wednesday morning, showed Mr. Sanders with 27 percent support and Mr. Biden following closely behind at 24 percent support. It was the first time Mr. Sanders has led nationally since Mr. Biden entered the race last April, though his lead was within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
The second poll, released later Wednesday by Monmouth University, showed a different picture at the top, with Mr. Biden in the lead with 30 percent support and Mr. Sanders in second with 23 percent.
In both polls, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts finished third with 14 percent support.
Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., and former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York traded places in the polls, with Mr. Buttigieg coming in fourth in CNN's poll with 11 percent and fifth in Monmouth's with 6 percent, and Mr. Bloomberg finishing fourth in Monmouth's with 9 percent and fifth in CNN's with 5 percent.
