Klobuchar moves up in Iowa poll of 2020 Dems

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) has moved up in an Iowa poll of potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, coming in as the fourth-most popular contender with 10 percent support, according to a Focus on Rural America poll first obtained by Politico.

Klobuchar came in after former Vice President Joe Biden, who received 30 percent; Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who received 13 percent; and former Senate candidate Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), who received 11 percent.

O'Rourke and Klobuchar were new entries to the Focus on Rural America poll, which circulated without their names in September.

The poll found that Biden's support dropped, from 37 percent in September to 30 percent in December.

Although I don't take what Iowans decide as what is good for the Democratic Party or their nominee decision with much thought. If Iowans are the be all end all in our nomination decision, we are not doing very well.

I'm voting for the Democratic nominee no matter what, but she's probably in my top 10.

as a side note, my mom is in her mid 70s and not very into politics other than not liking Trump. However, she texted me several weeks back and said that she really like Amy Klobuchar.
