No other candidates in the New Hampshire poll received double-digit support. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar registered 7 percent support. Businessman Tom Steyer and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker each received 3 percent.

In Iowa, Sanders is in a three-way tie for the first position, with Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg also attracting 23 percent support. Elizabeth Warren registered 16 percent support. Amy Klobuchar again received 7 percent support.
