据蒙茅斯大学民意测验研究所（MUPH）称，迈克尔·布隆伯格（Michael Bloomberg）在新的爱荷华州民意调查中排名最低。在对他们对彭博社的看法进行投票的361人中，只有一位选民将他列为首选，而只有百分之一的被访者说他将是他们的第二选择。
MUPH的负责人帕特里克•默里说：“据报道，彭博社如果确实参加了比赛，将跳过二月份的比赛。” “有了这样令人沮丧的数字，很容易理解为什么。但是我真的无法想象超级星期二州的民主党人将比爱荷华州的选民更能接受他。”
在接受调查的爱荷华州选民中，只有17％的人对彭博社有好感，而在接受投票的人中，有48％的人对他表示不利。不到百分之一的受访者表示，他们倾向于投票支持彭博社，将其与候选人玛丽安·威廉姆森，约翰·德莱尼和迈克尔·本内特相提并论。
唯一具有较低的受欢迎度等级的候选人是前宾夕法尼亚州议员和三星级海军上将乔·塞斯塔克，他们在被调查者中的得分为零。
担任三届纽约市市长的亿万富翁彭博社尚未正式宣布他竞选总统候选人的资格。他之前曾考虑在2008年和2016年以独立身份参选。
彭博顾问霍华德•沃尔夫森（Howard Wolfson）在一份声明中说： “迈克越来越担心当前的候选人领域定位不佳”，以在即将举行的选举中击败唐纳德·J·特朗普总统。
沃尔夫森补充说：“基于他的成就记录，领导才能以及他带领人们团结推动变革的能力，迈克将能够与特朗普抗争并赢得胜利。”
特朗普总统似乎不同意沃尔夫森的评估，欢迎彭博社提出挑战。
特朗普于11月8日对记者说： “小迈克尔会失败，我可以告诉你，我比小迈克尔更愿意与之对抗。”
徘徊在民意调查底部的是朱利安·卡斯特罗（Julian Castro）和史蒂夫·布洛克（Steve Bullock），占1％；塔尔西·加巴德（Tulsi Gabbard）和科里·布克（Cory Booker），占2％；汤姆·斯泰尔（Tom Steyer），安德鲁·杨（Andrew Yang）和卡马拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris），占3％。
皮特·布蒂吉格（Pete Buttigieg）以73％的总体好感度位居榜首。爱荷华州选民说，他们倾向于将Buttigieg的投票率提高了22％。前副总统乔·拜登以19％的票数位居第二。伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）和伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）以18％和13％的收视率排在前四名。
穆雷说：“巴蒂吉格正在成为爱荷华州各民主党派的首选。” “尽管他在年长的核心会议上名义上取得了更大的收益，但你确实无法对一个特定的群体表示支持。无论教育程度或意识形态如何，他在选民中的表现都很好。”
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG RANKS BELOW NEARLY ALL OTHER CANDIDATES IN NEW IOWA POLL
Michael Bloomberg ranked near the bottom of a new Iowa poll voters poll, according to the Monmouth University Polling Institute [MUPH]. Out of 361 people polled about their opinion on Bloomberg, just one voter named him as their top pick while only one percent of those polled said he would be their second choice.
"Reports suggest that Bloomberg will skip the February contests if he does get into the race," said Patrick Murray, director of the MUPH. "With dismal numbers like these, it's easy to see why. But I really cannot imagine that Democrats in the Super Tuesday states would be significantly more receptive to him than Iowa voters."
Only 17 percent of Iowa voters polled had a favorable impression of Bloomberg while 48 percent of those polled rated him as unfavorable. Less than one percent said they were leaning toward voting for Bloomberg, ranking him with candidates Marianne Williamson, John Delaney, and Michael Bennet.
The only candidate with a lower favorability rating is former Pennsylvania Congressman and three-star admiral Joe Sestak, who carries a zero percent rating among those polled.
Bloomberg, a billionaire who served three terms as the mayor of New York City, has yet to officially declare his candidacy for the presidential race. He had previously considered running as an independent in 2008 and 2016.
