This is much more significant than it looks and is probably the reason the DesMoines Register poll of Iowa Caucus Goers was (to quote the New York Times) "Abruptly Shelved".

It's not just that Bernie is at 28%. Warren is at 14%.

If a candidate gets < 15%, their supporters are released to go vote for someone else, and many of Warren's so-called "progressive" supporters would likely go to Bernie, putting him closer to a blowout at 40%.

The DNC needs Warren to get to 15% to avoic a catastrophe and publishing a poll showing she's likely to come up short could create a self-fulfilling prophesy if just a few of those inclined to support her saw the poll and figured 'why bother, may as well join Bernie in the first place rather than show up late to the party'.

The real question is why on earth would 11% of ANYONE support Amy Klobuchar?

“Bernie Sanders has won this satellite caucus, with 5 people in his corner. Klobuchar and Buttigieg each got 2.”

A tiny caucus out in the boonies, but they felt the Bern.

I wonder what Iowans would think about Sanders’ early essay on women’s rape fantasies:
