NEW YORK – Support for former Vice President Joe Biden’s U.S. presidential bid has tumbled nationally following a lackluster finish in last week’s Iowa caucuses, while interest is surging among Democrats and independents for the upstart candidacy of billionaire media mogul Michael Bloomberg, according to a Reuters/Ipsos public opinion poll released on Monday.

The Feb. 6-10 poll found that 17 percent of registered Democrats and independents said they would vote for Biden, down 5 percentage points from a similar poll that ran last week before Iowa held its first-in-the-nation nominating contest.
