We’re gonna have this in the polling going into Monday’s actual caucus vote…
I wouldn’t be surprised if we get Sanders leading in another poll…
But?
Sanders appears to be a weak 2nd choice…
Right now?

Not ‘strong’ Biden….
Former Vice President Joe Biden continues to lead in Iowa just before the first-in-the-nation caucuses, but Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is closing the gap between himself and the frontrunner, according to a Monmouth University poll released Wednesday.
The poll, conducted from Jan. 23-27, found Biden with 23 percent support among likely Democratic caucusgoers, roughly on par with a previous Monmouth survey from earlier this month that showed him at 24 percent in the Hawkeye State.
Sanders, however, is within the margin of error for first place, notching 21 percent in the latest poll – a 3-point gain since the early January survey.
Former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), meanwhile, are neck-and-neck, scoring 16 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Another contender, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), took 10 percent in the poll, marking the first time since launching her presidential bid last year that she has scored in double digits in Iowa….

Warren is the candidate most frequently cited as likely caucusgoers’ second choice, with 19 percent saying they would back the Massachusetts senator if not their No. 1 pick. Biden takes second place in that category, with 16 percent putting him in their No. 2 spot, while Buttigieg comes in third, with 13 percent.
Only 11 percent of respondents said Sanders was their second choice in the Democratic field. ..
