Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) at 19 percent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) at 15 percent, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) at 7 percent, and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 5 percent.

The three percent in Quinnipiac's poll also puts Yang, who has already qualified for the third presidential debate, ahead of numerous elected Democrats with much larger name recognition. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio, for instance, are at one percent, while Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) didn't even crack one percent. They're polling behind, while Yang is polling slightly ahead, of "wouldn't vote" at 2 percent.
