US Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has gained a record level of support as the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, according to a new poll.

The Hill-HarrisX poll released on Monday found that since last month 15 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning independents supported Warren, up from the previous peak of 14 percent in September.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, was at 31 percent, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who garnered 17 percent support in the poll, were ahead of Warren in the crowded Democratic field of 12 contestants.

So far, polling has indicated that the Democratic nomination is a three-way race between Biden, Warren, and Sanders.

According to some polls, Warren is running neck-and-neck with Biden, while other polls indicate that Warren has surged past Biden and Sanders.

A Quinnipiac University poll showed Warren had 27 percent support among Democrats and independent voters who lean Democratic, while Biden had 25 percent support, and Sanders 16 percent.
