The poll has a 4.5% margin of error, but still, since August he's gone from 8 percent to 22.

Pete Buttigieg, whose presidential campaign has been steadily gaining ground in Iowa over recent weeks, now sits narrowly atop the 2020 Democratic field in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, according to a new survey.
A Monmouth University poll published Tuesday shows that the South Bend, Ind., mayor is the first choice of 22 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers — outrunning all other rivals in Iowa for the party’s nomination to challenge President Donald Trump.
Former Vice President Joe Biden ranks in second place with 19 percent support, followed closely by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts with 18 percent and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont with 13 percent.
Although no other candidate cracked double-digit support, 5 percent of likely caucus-goers favored Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), while 3 percent preferred Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), billionaire activist Tom Steyer and tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang. The remainder of the Democratic pack achieved 2 percent support or less.
