Poll: A week before the caucuses, Joe Biden leads an Iowa race that remains unsettled

Poll: A week before the caucuses, Joe Biden leads an Iowa race that remains unsettled

Susan Page USA TODAY

One week before the opening Iowa caucuses, former Vice President Joe Biden leads a fluid Democratic field, a new Suffolk University/USA TODAY Network Poll of the state finds.

In the survey taken Thursday through Sunday, Biden was backed by 25% of likely Democratic caucusgoers, ahead of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at 19%; former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 18%; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 13%; and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar at 6%.

But an additional 13% were undecided, and 45% of those with a preference said it was still possible they might change their minds. That underscores the possibility of more shifts in a state where Biden, Sanders, Warren and Buttigieg have each been ahead in one poll or another in recent months.

The Iowa outcome typically narrows the presidential field – costing also-runs the funds and standing to continue their campaigns – while providing a burst of momentum for the winner heading into the New Hampshire primary and other contests that follow.

With a caucus you get a bunch of folks who belong to the Democratic Party to come. (At a certain time the doors are locked) Then the people divide into groups based on who they support. Tallies are made and a winner is declared. I've done both and prefer a primary election where more voters take part. Michigan's primary is March 10th. I can't wait.

primary today, I would vote for:
