He’s apparently not fitting the bill in Iowa — for anyone.

Mayor de Blasio, who announced last month he is running for president, received 0% support in a Des Moines Register/Mediacom/CNN Iowa Poll released Saturday night.

De Blasio was one of just two candidates in the crowded Democratic presidential race who was not listed by a single respondent as a first or second choice. Seven other candidates who had their showing rounded down to 0% had at least one respondent voting for them.

Former Vice President Joe Biden led the field with 24%, followed by Bernie Sanders with 16%. Elizabeth Warren had 15%, Pete Buttigieg was next with 14% and Kamala Harris received 7% of support. No other candidate had more than 2%.

The 433 “likely in-person 2020 Democratic caucus participants” were all asked which candidate would be their first choice for president. The poll was conducted over a four-day period earlier this month.

The pivotal Iowa caucuses will take place on Feb. 3, still eight months away.
