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 arent 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 Trumps claims about the former vice president and his sons 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.

WOW!!!!!!!
Biden leads Trump more than Hillary did...
*ROFL*
He can’t even string 2 words together
Heres a reminder of what FoxNews said in 2016:
As usual they over polled Democrats.Soon as you look at the numbers you know it is bogus.
Faux is as bad as CNN with their fake polls and so called news.
Because Fox News really wants civilians to be disarmed, the Biden family to continue with their corrupt ventures in the Ukraine and China and elsewhere, sky high taxes for all (except Government Party members and their wealthy friends), and other grand ideals.
FNC Polls are a joke and everyone knows it yet they make no effort to fix it. No one believes Joe is ahead of Trump by 12 points, no one.
I’ll concede that bumbling ol’ Joe may be more likable than Hillary (that’s a very low bar), but from my perspective he’s a much weaker candidate. His fundraising has been weak. And he’s 77. And not an energetic, great-for-his-age 77. He’s a bumbling, how-did-he-escape-from-dementia-care 77. And he’s going to be even worse a year from now. Bring it on.
No doubt the same polls that had Hillary over Trump in ‘16.
Look for another debacle in ‘20, but worse.
Isn’t that precious! FOX NEWS trying to shape public opinion!
Fu*k you FOX NEWS!
Fox slowly sinking into the Rat Swamp.
How much did the Trump Campaign spend on this Poll? #;^)
It’s not called “Faux News” for nothing.
same totally fake poll that said Trump should be impeached: sampled polled 49% Dems, 11% Independents ...
Actually we can be encourage by this. Obviously it’s ridiculous to assert Biden is 12 points ahead of Trump so obviously the poll can tossed. They also tried claim there is 49% approval for impeachment so we can assume that result is preposterous too.
And Hillary led Trump by 9 points in Utah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.....
Good luck running a national campaign with no money.

To have a modicum of credibility, the gap could be a bit smaller.
