Biden has maintained his front-runner status throughout the primary campaign, but a number of recent polls have shown Sanders surging to second place, while Warren has slipped. 

The polls come ahead of the final campaign stretch before the crucial Iowa caucuses in February. An Emerson College poll released last week showed Biden neck-and-neck with Sanders in the Hawkeye State, with Biden garnering 23 percent support and Sanders at 22 percent. 

Biden and Sanders will come face-to-face on Thursday in Los Angeles for the sixth Democratic primary debate. 

The NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll was conducted Dec. 14-17 among 410 likely Democratic primary voters. The poll’s margin of error is 4.84 percentage points.
