Bad News For Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren's momentum that carried her to the top of the polls is officially no more. The Massachusetts senator tumbled down a Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday, losing half the support she enjoyed from Democrats nationwide.

Warren fell 14 points, settling into third at 14 percent, behind former Vice President Joe Biden (24 percent) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (16.) Warren is one point ahead Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The timing of the nosedive is unenviable, with the field only getting more muddled with the recent additions of former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

There are only 68 days until the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3. New Hampshire's primary date is Feb. 11.

"Biden is back on top of the pack, but now there is a three-way race for second," said Quinnipiac polling analyst Tim Malloy. "Buttigieg has broken into the top tier, apparently at the expense of Warren, who has taken a dive after being hammered for being too far left on health care and other issues."

Warren was the No. 1 option for voters' second choice in the poll, which could help in a primary in which so many voters are still undecided.

Moderates Biden and Buttigieg have enjoyed some momentum of their own in past weeks, coinciding with scrutiny over how Warren would pay for her Medicare for All plan. She released her plan at the beginning of November, but Democratic leaders have have grown increasingly skeptical about how the party may would fare in a general election running on Medicare for All.
