Pete Buttigieg — the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who has previously never polled more than 8 percent — has surged in the polls since last week’s Democratic debate.
A Suffolk University/USA Today poll of Iowa residents conducted after the October 15 Democratic debate shows Buttigieg polling at 13 percent, Elizabeth Warren at 17 percent, and Joe Biden at 18 percent.
A Suffolk University/USA Today poll in June had Buttigieg at 6 percent, while Biden had a double-digit lead over Warren.
