On paper, Pete Buttigieg doesn’t seem like a high-profile presidential candidate. (Washington Post graphic/Washington Post graphic)An April St. Anselm poll of Democratic voters in another crucial early-voting state, New Hampshire, found Buttigieg in third place as well. — David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) April 14, 2019It’s probably a fool’s errand to try to pin down what, exactly, is making Buttigieg so popular.

There’s a long campaign ahead, and Buttigieg is untested at the highest level of politics.
