Bernie Sanders won the Nevada caucuses Saturday, continuing his surge to first place as the front runner for the Democratic nomination for president behind winning in New Hampshire on Feb. 11, and taking second place in the Iowa caucuses a week earlier.
According to unofficial election results, at press time Sanders was winning Nevada with 46% of the vote followed by Joe Biden at 20 %.
Pete Buttgieg is third at 15%, and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is currently in fourth place with 10% of the vote.
In his quest to secure the Democratic nomination for president the Vermont senator is exceeding previous front runner former president Biden nationally among Democratic voters, and by double digits, Biden a former vice president under Barack Obama, the nation's first Black president and President Donald Trump's predecessor.
The seasoned United States senator, 78, has launched a nationwide grassroots campaign to effectively outdo his Democratic opponents, the winner poised to run against incumbent Trump in November, Trump a Republican real estate mogul and former television personality seeking a second term in office.
The Feb 19 Quinnipiac University poll that has Sanders leading the national race for the Democratic nomination was conducted after his first place showing in New Hampshire and his strong showing in the Iowa caucuses a week earlier behind Buttigieg. The poll has him with support from 32% of Democratic voters, a 16-point lead over Biden, who is at 16% and continues to struggle to regain his front-runner status.
In third place nationally is Michael Bloomberg at 14%, followed by Warren at 12%, and Buttigieg, who won the Iowa caucuses, at 8 %.
U.S. Sen Amy Klobuchar is at 7% nationally, with the remaining five candidates polling at less than 3%.
