Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said Saturday evening that declining support in Iowa will not alter his strategy in Iowa.
CEDAR RAPIDS — Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said Saturday evening that his tepid support in polls of the Iowa electorate will not alter his strategy in the state.
According to a new Des Moines Register/CNN poll, the El Paso native is currently polling at just 2 percent, well behind former Vice President Joe Biden , Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders , Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren , South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and California Senator Kamala Harris . In fact, O’Rourke’s support has fallen in Iowa since March, when a CNN/Des Moines Register poll found the former Congressman with 5 percent support in the state.
O’Rourke, however, maintains that he’s going to continue the ground game he’s been running for the past few months. Despite his sliding standing in polls, many voters and potential volunteers who spoke to Yahoo News expressed admiration for O’Rourke’s candor, believing his calls for party unity, no matter who ultimately clinches the nomination, is needed during an increasingly fractured political landscape. Some Beto skeptics, including mother-son duo Tina and Corbin Gallagher, said authenticity is what would push them to commit to a candidate in the bloated field of Democratic presidential hopefuls.
