Elizabeth Warren as the largely unknown candidate has vaulted ahead of other nationally known figures. According to the most recent Quinnipiac University poll, Buttigieg scored 4 percent support. Although that’s a long way behind former Vice President Joe Biden, who led the poll at 29 percent. it marks the first time the 37-year-old has separated himself from the gaggle of candidates scoring at or below 1 percent support. The surge was noted by Axios as “the biggest polling story of the week.” The poll also shows that not only is Buttigieg tied with Warren, he is ahead of Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who both polled at 2 percent. In between came Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, at 19 percent, followed by former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke at 12 percent and California Sen. Kamala Harris at 12 percent.  CLICK HERE
