Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has surged to the lead in a closely-watched poll of Iowa caucusgoers, according to results released Friday.
Twenty percent of respondents in the poll, conducted by the Des Moines Register and CNN from Jan. 2-8, said they are likely to support Sanders during Iowa’s statewide caucus, which will be held on Feb. 3. That’s a five point increase for Sanders since the same poll was conducted in November.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (17%), former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (16%) and former Vice President Joe Biden (15%) rounded out the top four in the latest survey.
Buttigieg, who led the November poll, lost nine points. Warren gained one percentage point, while Biden stayed even.

Sanders has surged of late despite suffering a heart attack in early October. Warren captured some of Sanders’ supporters after his illness, but her momentum has faded amid scrutiny of her Medicare for All plan.
