Sanders rose 9 points from 13 percent in October’s poll, while Warren dropped by 11 points, finding herself sinking from a first-place spot to fourth in a few months’ time.
Klobuchar also enjoyed a boost as she works to burnish her centrist credentials, leaping 9 points from October when she polled at just 1 percent.

The Emerson poll surveyed 325 Democratic caucus-goers from Dec. 7-10 and has a margin of error of 5.4 percent.
