, which spiked the day of the event and continued to skyrocket through the end of the month.
And it wasn’t just Buttigieg’s fundraising numbers that took off: The share of Democrats who knew enough about him to form an opinion of him — found by adding together the share who said they had a favorable opinion and the share who said they had an unfavorable opinion — has also risen precipitously. At the start of February, around 20 percent of Democrats had an opinion of Buttigieg, but by the beginning of May, that figure was above 50 percent.
Now, Buttigieg isn’t alone in this regard. Most candidates have experienced at least some uptick since January in the number of voters who have an opinion about them, unless they were already familiar to almost all voters . For example, Sen.her presidential bid on Jan. 21, and her average familiarity among voters rose from around 50 percent in early January to almost 70 percent in late February.
This represents a pretty dramatic rise, but Buttigieg isn’t alone in his polling surge. Harris and Sen.
FiveThirtyEight Democrats? wide field
FiveThirtyEight This shit is like a 50/50 weather report. What's the point?
FiveThirtyEight Newsroom: 'How can we talk about Mayor Pete EVERY day?!?' ....
FiveThirtyEight Nah
FiveThirtyEight It's too early to prognosticate about who's up and who's down right now. It's a level playing field in a long game and I'm anxious to watch the process continue. It's the very best of American democracy at work. At least on the Democratic side.
FiveThirtyEight The Browns weren’t much good last year but they could win the Super Bowl. Except they lack talent much like Pete lacks specific policies/solutions to problems.
FiveThirtyEight MSM will make sure of it. Reminder: toothless neoliberalism leads directly into fascism every time:
FiveThirtyEight And farts smell like roses.

FiveThirtyEight Considering that all he's really running on is the strength of his gay, tell me that doesn't sound like porn.
FiveThirtyEight Yeah sure with that donkey face
FiveThirtyEight abc the patron news bureau of the failed/failing progressive presidential candidate.
FiveThirtyEight Hemorhoids always do
FiveThirtyEight Pete popped up in the polls because the MSM propped him up after Beto crashed and burned. Now that Biden is officially in, Pete is just another Dem running who has no real platform.
FiveThirtyEight He's still ahead of Beto. And both are fading...fast.
FiveThirtyEight Surge like dirty water in a storm drain.
FiveThirtyEight He is a jerk. Priggish Pete picked a fake fight with Pence. Nobody cares that Pete is gay but Pete. We are all not as shallow as he is. We vote on policy not pals.
FiveThirtyEight Man you media people really like to rely on hopes and dreams, but yet you denounce faith in God, prayers in schools? This one is definitely dead in the water, a waste.
FiveThirtyEight That’s what she said
FiveThirtyEight I see no sign of his streak coming to a halt.
