Two months ago, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was commanding support from about one-quarter of Democratic primary voters nationwide and seemed to be building a coalition that cut across demographics.
This is the first presidential race in the past half-century in which two staunchly left-wing candidates have mounted viable, top-tier candidacies for the Democratic nomination. In many ways, this reflects the state of a party whose rank-and-file members have been moving steadily left since the mid-1990s. Last year, a majority of Democrats identified as liberals for the first time on record, according to Gallup polling.
This is particularly salient in Iowa, where election rules force caucusgoers to support their second choice if their preferred candidate falls short of the minimum threshold at their caucus site. A Des Moines Register/CNN poll last month found that 45% of Sanders’ supporters said Warren would be their second choice in the state’s caucus. Roughly 2 in 5 of Warren’s supporters said the same of Sanders.
Quinnipiac polling shows that Warren has flagged significantly since October among older voters and those with incomes under $100,000. Biden has picked up big gains among both groups.
