Name recognition is key and four other takeaways from our Iowa poll | Analysis by CNN's ForecasterEnten
Here are five key takeaways from our Iowa poll.1. Name recognition plays an important role in these early numbersThe only two candidates breaking double-digits are also the only two candidates for which 90% of the electorate can form an opinion. The third best known candidate is also the candidate who is in third place with 9%. Every candidate who gets more than 1% of the vote has at least 59% name recognition.Now, it's not all name recognition.
There is, however, a major warning signal. A giant 44% of Democratic voters say Sanders is too liberal. That's nearly double the 23% who say the same about Warren. That makes sense in so far as Sanders is further left than Warren. Interestingly, though, this 44% is far more than the about 25% who said Sanders' positions were too liberal during the 2016 primary season. That may suggest voters are paying more attention to Sanders policies than they were in 2016.
