In Friday’s poll, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has the support of 22%, with a tight cluster of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (19%), South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg (18%) and Former Vice President Joe Biden (17%) all within striking distance of Warren.

The results in the early voting state do not bode well for Biden and are similar to a September CNN/Des Moines Regiser/Mediacom poll in which Warren challenged Biden’s dominance in the race.

This also marks a jump for Buttigieg, who previously lagged behind the three longstanding frontrunners and clocked in at 9% in CNN’s poll in Iowa last month.

Behind them, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar lands at 4%, and California Sen. Kamala Harris and businessman Andrew Yang at 3% each in Friday’s poll. The poll is Klobuchar’s second poll that meets the standard to qualify for the December Democratic presidential debate, which requires 4% in at least four national or early state polls that meet the DNC’s criteria or 6% in two early state polls between Oct. 16 and Dec. 12.

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and businessman Tom Steyer all garnered 2% of support.

Two-thirds of likely caucusgoers in the poll said they could still change their minds about whom to support.

The Times/Siena survey was conducted from Oct. 25-30, questioned 439 Iowa Democratic caucusgoers and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.7 percentage points.
