WASHINGTON — The 2020 Democratic field in Iowa is led by four candidates for president, with South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg gaining ground in the last few months, according to a poll released Tuesday.
The Monmouth University poll found that Buttigieg is the favored candidate of 22% of respondents, putting him in the lead for the first time in Iowa. Former Vice President Joe Biden was backed by 19%, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren by 18% and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by 13%. All other Democratic candidates received single-digit support in the survey.
But, the survey results suggest that the race is still fluid; less than one-third of respondents said they are firmly set on their choice.

Buttigieg’s support has grown since Monmouth’s August survey, where he was at 8%. Biden, meanwhile, has ticked down since the summer, when he was the pick of 26% of Monmouth respondents.
