CBS' final state poll has Biden, Sanders locked in tie ahead of Iowa caucuses

If you were disappointed in the cancellation of the CNN/Des Moines Register Iowa poll, have no fear.CBS News on Sunday came out with its final poll in the state ahead of the Iowa caucuses Monday, and the top two candidates are in a dead heat. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) both received 25 percent in the survey. Their shared lead is in line with predictions that Monday will produce a tightly contested result to open up primary voting.Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg wasn't too far behind at 21 percent, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) finished fourth at 16 percent. It wasn't a great poll for Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), who only garnered 5 percent support, despite some other recent polls indicating she's got her fair share of backers in Iowa.> Iowa poll of 2020 Dems: CBS News> > Biden 25% > Sanders 25% > Buttigieg 21% > Warren 16% > Klobuchar 5%https://t.co/oifkdVncWc pic.twitter.com/rBauGuM3Uo> > — Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) February 2, 2020The CBS News poll was conducted between January 22-31 among 1,835 registered voters in Iowa.
