In a surprising, not surprising turn of events Bernie Sanders is the new frontrunner in Iowa according to a brand new bellwether poll from the state’s largest newspaper, as Reuters reports:

“U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders leads in the latest poll of Iowa voters released on Friday and conducted by the state’s largest newspaper, one of the most watched surveys in the state, which holds the first presidential primary contest next month.

Sanders received 20% in the poll, which was released by The Des Moines Register and conducted by Selzer & Co, an Iowa polling firm.

The poll found a clear top tier of four candidates competing in Iowa. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren placed second with 17%, followed by former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg in third with 16%, which was a drop of 9 percentage points from the previous poll by the same group.

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s support was unchanged from the November poll, placing fourth with 15%.

The poll is conducted in conjunction with CNN and cable company Mediacom.

Iowa Democrats will conduct caucus meetings on Feb. 3, the first state to kick off the primary contests that will decide which of the 13 Democratic candidates will challenge Republican President Donald Trump in November.

Finishing among the top three in Iowa has been crucial for candidates in past presidential elections, with those who fail to do so often finding their campaigns ending before voters in New Hampshire head to the polls for the second nominating contest.”

Just shows how far to the left Democrat primary voters in that state have gone.

While this new poll is just reflective of Iowa there is no doubt that Democrats have moved far to the left.

Bernie Sanders was once a fringe figure, but now his socialist politics puts him in tune with the Democrat party electorate.

Young people also tend to support him, which shows how far the indoctrination in the public schools has gone.

Socialism is now cool, instead of the horror show it really is.
