According to entry polls conducted at the 2020 Democratic Party Iowa caucuses, support for Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg was tied among voters who identified health care as the most important issue with 24 percent each. Given the candidates hold opposite views regarding a single-payer, government funded healthcare system, the equal levels of support likely indicates underlying division over this policy.
The Iowa caucuses were held on February 3, 2020, and are the first contest in the primaries for the Democratic Party to choose their candidate for the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
