Sanders helped cement his frontrunner status by boosting his support by 8 points among voters under the age of 45 and 10 points among self-identified liberals. His rise has come largely at Warren’s expense – the Massachusetts lawmaker’s support among liberals dropped 6 points since January.
Buttigieg’s surge also seemed to come from support he stole from Biden. The Indiana Democrat rose 8 points among voters age 45 and older and 6 points among moderate and conservative voters. Biden dropped 9 and 5 points among those same demographics, respectively.
Buttigieg also has a slim lead over Sanders among voters who are only leaning toward a candidate or are undecided by a 21-19 margin.
A majority of likely primary voters, 56 percent, said they anticipate Sanders will win the primary.

The poll comes after Buttigieg and Sanders finished neck-and-neck at the top of Iowa’s caucuses, with the former South Bend mayor putting up a much stronger showing than many anticipated.
The CNN poll, which was conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, surveyed 365 likely Democratic primary voters from Feb. 4-7 and has a margin of error of 5.1 percent.
