Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden holds a 10-point lead over his nearest 2020 Democratic presidential rivals in the early state of Nevada, according to a poll released on Monday.
Mr. Biden was the top choice of 29% of likely Democratic caucus-goers, and was followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont at 19% apiece, according to a poll conducted by the Mellman Group for The Nevada Independent.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, was next at 7%, followed by billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer at 4%. Sen. Kamala D. Harris of California, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and entrepreneur Andrew Yang were next at 3% each.
Among those who identified themselves as “strong” supporters, Mr. Biden was at 19%, followed by Ms. Warren at 16% and Mr. Sanders at 15%.
Nevada is third on the 2020 presidential calendar after Iowa and New Hampshire, where Mr. Biden has been struggling in some recent polling.
The survey of 600 potential Democratic caucus-goers was conducted from Oct. 28 to Nov. 2 and has a margin of error of 4%.
