The New Year opens with Bernie Sanders in his best standing yet against the field in Iowa and New Hampshire. He's in a first-place tie with Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg in Iowa. All three are at 23%, and each would get a similar number of delegates out of the caucuses if they were to take place today, according to the CBS News Battleground Tracker. Sanders also now has a narrow edge in New Hampshire, with a two-point lead over Biden.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren has slipped in New Hampshire since November, as liberal voters have moved toward Sanders instead. However, she's still in position to get delegates there.

There's at least one thing keeping this race in flux: If Democrats' New Year's resolution is to beat President Trump, none of the candidates has yet convinced a majority he or she can do it.

pushing a short time ago they were all but saying that Biden didn't even have a chance in Iowa.

These innuendos that are not so subtly incorporated into pieces like this, are not meant to inform, but to distort

delegates come from? He is tied or barely ahead in states where he should win easily...and going forward with less caucuses and more primaries in states that are not friendly to him, he will not get anywhere close to enough delegates to win the primary...the AA vote wil continue to hurt his chances and that of Warren and Buttigieg as well.
