Democratic primary voters increasingly feel the need to nominate a candidate who can beat President Trump in 2020, and more think Joe Biden can do that than any of the other top Democratic hopefuls. In addition, while most Democratic primary voters are satisfied with their field, more than a quarter wish they had other options, according to a new Fox News Poll.
Biden leads the nomination race with the backing of 31 percent of Democratic primary voters, followed by Elizabeth Warren at 21 percent, Bernie Sanders at 19 percent, and Pete Buttigieg at 7 percent. In early October, Biden was at 32 percent, Warren 22, Sanders 17, and Buttigieg 4. While health concerns about Sanders aren’t an issue for over half of Democratic primary voters (53 percent), 28 percent say these concerns make them less likely to support the Vermont senator (14 percent more likely). Sanders suffered a heart attack October 3.
On the other hand, nearly twice as many say they are more likely (21 percent) rather than less likely (11 percent) to back Biden given Trump’s claims about the former vice president and his son’s business dealings in Ukraine and China. About two-thirds say the allegations make no difference (65 percent).
One year out from the 2020 election, Trump ties or trails the Democrat in each of the possible head-to-head matchups tested.
Biden performs best against Trump (51-39 percent). He leads by 12 points, garners over 50 percent and keeps Trump below 40 percent. In early October, Biden led by 10 (50-40 percent).
More Democrats (91 percent) back Biden than Republicans (86 percent) support Trump, and 88 percent of 2016 Trump voters would stick with him, while 91 percent of Clinton voters would support Biden.

That’s almost as much as Hillary was going to beat him by.
What a BS poll, I guess the over sample on Democrats was 60%.
If anyone saw that thing the other night where Joe was at an event and was staring at the blue screen behind him rather than the audience then you know Joe is out of it and needs to leave.
The MSM is trying to prop him up I guess, who knows.
Bull F@$%ing Sh!t...
FOX News Poll...the joke of the century...maybe the joke poll of all world history!!! Chris Stilewalt needs brooming from FNC/FBN..immediately...the guy is a total waste and zero to boot. A pure adult moron, idiot, buffoon and butt wipe...all in one!!! Fox News really knows how to pick ‘Em!!!! Shame on all the management at FNC. MurdocK must getting or already is senile!!!
Below is the key data from one of the responses that is included in the detailed summary of the poll. A little editing on my part but the data is per the poll.

Faux News. Outside of a few anchors with their own shows, the place is a homosexual cesspool.
*shiggles ping*
Biden, Bernie, Pocahontas.......and Buttgag bringing up the rear.
Taken payoffs from Ukraine and Red China. Check.
Longtime pervert and pedophile. Check.
He’s gonna be a great candidate.
Only one with a better resume of corruption and treason is John F’n Kerry.
Nope. No bologna. All bullshlt.
FA Q! Fox!
Yeah, but Biden’s approval rating is high only b/c Hunter’s ex-girlfriends, wives and one-stands, and the children he sired, were all polled.
Biden is sure to get the nomination after winning the Vermont primary. ;-)
These were the same reactions everybody had to midterm polls showing Democrats would take back the House.
If anybody thinks 2020 will be a cakewalk, you are mistaken. 48 percent will vote against Trump no matter what, he has to thread a needle to win reelection.
There are 49 percent registered Democrats in the USA according to this poll? I thought it was a lot less. I also thought there were a lot more independents.
Faux cannot possibly have an accurate poll on anything because, dim voters will lie to Faux pollsters about who they are then, on top of that, most Trump voters just don’t answer or simply hang up on any pollster.
Just my theory anyway.
Or...Faux pollsters are just paid Leftists activists like any so-called MSM outlet.
These hand wringer threads should be banned...actually, most freepers know it’s BS, we just like to get pissed off.
You have the right attitude that we all need to keep.
2018 was a disaster in my book.
LOL.

Biden isn’t even leading his Democrat rivals. How is he leading Trump. Bogus poll by an ever-eroding Fox News.
