A new poll out of Iowa has Pete Buttigieg surging to third place among announced and potential Democratic candidates.

The Emerson poll has former Vice President Joe Biden leading the pack with 25 percent, followed closely by Sen. Bernie Sanders at 24 percent. The big surprise, though, is Buttigieg who came in 11 percent. Buttigieg announced he was running in January, that same poll clocked him at 0 percent among Iowa voters at the time.
