Four Democratic Candidates in a Melee U.S. Presidential Election 2020 from Iowa Caucus


The first “match” for the selection of candidates from democratic and republican parties for the U.S. presidential election was held in De Moines, Iowa, on the evening of the 3rd of February. Four candidates (fought against each other (?) including Bernie Sanders(age: 78) from the left-wing party, and a former vice president, Joe Biden (age: 77) from the non-radical party. Due to the delay in vote counting operation, caucus began in a great upheaval.
The result hasn’t been disclosed as of midnight of the 4th of February, Japan time.
Based on the entrance survey of the caucus, the New York Times reported that candidate Sanders is most likely to win. However, later, the statement was revoked. Sanders emphasized at the caucus saying, “original quote”, and showed his confidence in winning.
At Iowa’s public opinion survey, Sanders overtook Biden(?) (and) gained the lead in the average approval rate. He is also leading in the next primary election scheduled in New Hampshire for the 11th of February.
If candidate Sanders wins twice consecutively, … (he will gain more momentum? confidence? approval?) for the nomination (?).
Sanders’ liberal policies including free college education and a large corporate tax increase are gaining great popularity. The background behind this is the sign (?) of the public, especially the younger generation, expressing (voicing?) their concerns towards widening inequality.
According to the Washington Post’s entrance survey, 48% of the voters aged 17 to 29 are in favor of candidate Sanders. As many as 31% of the electors who are supporting the policy to reduce inequality selected candidate Sanders.
Elizabeth Warren( age: 70) from the same left-wing party(?) followed with 26% of the votes.
However, some question the possibility of the left-wing candidates winning the election against Trump.
Liberal policies tend to be avoided among the working-class that supported President Trump in the 2016 election in the mid-western swing states such as Michigan. (How can I make this sentence sound more concise….?)
Candidate Biden claims that he is the most suitable candidate to recapture (regain?) the popularity among the white middle-class. He told his supporters the evening of the 3rd that the day has been a close (match?) and that it is going to be a long night.
According to an entrance survey, Biden gained 25% of the votes from the centrists.
The youngest candidate on this election, Pete Buttigieg (age: 38), a former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, also gained 25% of the votes from the centrists equaling to Biden. His team is confident that they were able to leap out to the top.
At the caucus held on the evening of the 3rd, Buttigieg commented, “original quote” and showed his confidence regarding the result.
The structure of left-wings and centrists fighting for the top (position?) is similar to that of between the former secretary of state Hilary Clinton and candidate Sanders in the 2016 presidential election. A widely accepted opinion for candidate Clinton’s loss is that at the end of a fierce battle between the two candidates, some of the Sanders’s supporters ended up not voting for candidate Clinton.
The current situation where both parties are clearly divided indicates that the history might repeat itself in the 2020’s election as well.


米民主候補争い4人が混戦 米大統領選、初戦アイオワ

11月の米大統領選に向けた野党・民主党の候補者選びの初戦となる中西部アイオワ州党員集会が3日夜(日本時間4日午前)に開かれ、左派のバーニー・サンダース上院議員(78)と穏健派のジョー・バイデン前副大統領(77)を軸に4候補の混戦となっている。
3日中にも大勢が判明するとみられていた開票作業が遅れ、波乱の幕開けとなった。
集計結果は、日本時間4日深夜時点で公表されていない。
米紙ニューヨーク・タイムズは党員集会への「入り口調査」などをもとにサンダース氏勝利の可能性が最も高いとの予測を報じていたが、その後に白紙に戻した。
そのサンダース氏は3日夜の集会で「きょうはトランプ大統領の終わりの始まりだ」と力説し、勝利に自信を示した。
アイオワの世論調査の平均支持率は、最終盤でバイデン氏を抜いて首位に立った。次戦の11日のニューハンプシャー州予備選でもリードしている。
2連勝すれば指名獲得に弾みがつく。
大学無償化や大規模な企業増税などリベラル色の強い政策が売りのサンダース氏が支持を集めているのは、格差拡大に不満を持つ若者を中心に変化を求める声が強まっている表れといえる。
米紙ワシントン・ポストの入り口調査によると、17~29歳の有権者の半数近い48%がサンダース氏を選んだ。
格差是正を重視する有権者は、サンダース氏を選んだ割合が31%にのぼり最多だった。
同じ左派のエリザベス・ウォーレン上院議員(70)が26%で続く。
ただ、左派の候補が本選でトランプ氏に勝てるかを疑問視する向きも多い。
16年大統領選でトランプ氏を支持した激戦州ミシガン州などの中西部の白人労働者層は、リベラルな政策を敬遠する傾向が強いためだ。
穏健派のバイデン氏はその白人労働者層の奪還には「自分こそ適任だ」と自負する。
3日夜は支持者に「きょうは接戦になっている。長い夜になりそうだ」と語った。
入り口調査によると、同氏は穏健派の25%の支持を集めている。
前インディアナ州サウスベンド市長で最年少候補のピート・ブティジェッジ氏(38)も穏健派からバイデン氏と並ぶ25%の支持を集め、陣営は上位争いに食い込む戦いをできたとみている。
3日夜の集会でブティジェッジ氏は「何という夜だ。この勝利の勢いをニューハンプシャーに持ち込むぞ」と手応えをのぞかせた。
左派と穏健派が激しい首位争いを展開する構図は、ヒラリー・クリントン元国務長官とサンダース氏が大接戦を演じた16年大統領選の指名争いと相似形だ。
双方の対立が激化した末、本選でサンダース氏の支持者の一部がクリントン氏に投票しなかったことがトランプ氏に敗北した一因というのが定説になっている。
党の分断が鮮明になってきた現状は、その二の舞になるリスクが増しているといえる。

Feedback

Well written. Be aware of the difference between 'liberal' and 'left-wing' - although Americans often conflate them they're not in any way the same thing (I would certainly not call Elizabeth Warren 'left-wing' - but she is a liberal).

Also, you should really start correcting some other people's writings, especially if you're going to be posting walls-of-text like this...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I have fixed the sentence splitting. Future journal entries will also split correctly (because the case that caused it to not split has been fixed). You can click the edit and save on your journal entry for the changes to take affect. However, current corrections will be hidden.

Well done, though I would do a reread of your work to see if you have repeated your turns of phrase/word choices, as it feels like it circles back in on itself. As another commenter mentioned, we don't really use "left-wing" or "centrist" so much as liberal, democratic socialist (in the case of Sanders) and moderate. Good work. Chunking out the sentences might help the editing/correction process as well.
