A week before the Iowa caucuses, on February 3, the first stage of the Democratic nomination contest for the November 3 presidential election, The world launches its campaign logbook. A daily update, first of all five days a week until September, with campaign facts, political advertisements, polls, maps and figures that allow us to follow and experience the most important electoral competition in the world.
Democratic presidential nominees plowed the first state to vote on Saturday January 25 and Sunday January 26, holding twenty-nine meetings across Iowa. Earlier this week, the pace should remain steady despite the absence of three senators, who were detained in Washington by the Donald Trump impeachment trial: Bernie Sanders (Vermont), Elizabeth Warren (Massachusetts) and Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota).
A fourth, Michael Bennet (Colorado), lagging behind in voting intentions like fundraising, has already bypassed the state of the Midwest and is throwing all his strength in New Hampshire, which will vote on February 11th. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who entered the race late, also chose to focus on the states of Super Tuesday, March 3, during which a quarter of the delegates will be involved.
The impeachment trial plays out, in theory, for the national race favorite, former vice president Joe Biden, the youngest in the race, the former mayor of a small town in Indiana Pete Buttigieg , billionaire Tom Steyer and businessman Andrew Yang. They're going to crisscross Iowa all week. A survey of New York Times, published on January 25, however, shows that Bernie Sanders was not handicapped by his immobilization far from Iowa.
It comes out on top of voting intentions (25%), ahead of Pete Buttigieg (18%), Joe Biden (17%), Elizabeth Warren (15%), Amy Klobuchard (8%), Tom Steyer (3%) and Andrew Yang (3%) in a survey by the Sierra College Research Institute for the New york times. The other candidates obtain a result less than or equal to 1%. (Survey conducted from January 20 to 23 among 584 Democrats, margin of error of 4.8 points.) The Vermont senator also leads (26%) ahead of Joe Biden (25%) in a YouGov poll for CBS. (Survey conducted from January 16 to 23 among 1,041 Democrats, margin of error of 3.9 points.) In contrast, Joe Biden (25%) is ahead of Bernie Sanders (19%) in a Suffolk University survey for USA Today. (Survey conducted from January 23 to 26 among 500 Democrats, margin of error 3, 3 points.)
