John Delaney (D-Md.), Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii), Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), Marianne Williamson, and Andrew Yang — were tied at 1 percent each in the poll.

The Fox News poll was conducted between May 11-14. The platform polled 1,008 registered voters across the country by phone. The poll’s margin of error was 3 percentage points for all registered voters. The margin of error for Democratic primary voters was 4.5 points.
