As many Democratic candidates prepare to speak at an event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Sunday, a poll of the state shows that former Vice President Joe Biden's lead is shrinking.
In the poll from Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom, which was published Saturday night, it was revealed that Biden carried 24 per cent support from likely Democratic caucus voters in Iowa, which is only 8 percentage points ahead of independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Sanders, who is making his second consecutive run in the Democratic primary, usually holds a solid second place in national polls among Democratic voters.
In Iowa, however, he is sharing the second tier with two other candidates, fellow progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
