  • Former Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly leads a crowded field with 17 percent support, followed closely by Pete Buttigieg at 16 percent, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gavin Newsom at 14 percent each.
  • CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten called the race the messiest and least clear Democratic primary landscape since at least 1992, noting there is no distinct leader.
