What is it that Democratic primary voters want in a candidate? Since shortly after the 2016 election, when pollsters first began to take the temperature of Democratic voters, former vice president Joe Biden was the clear choice among Democrats.
Biden is still the frontrunner, but some of the rest of the field has caught him. A survey from Change Research, a left-leaning polling outlet, shows that Biden is the choice of 21% of Democrats, followed by Bernie Sanders at 20%. Significantly, Biden has lost 15 points just since last month, and Sanders has lost 4 points.
Where did many of those voters go? They've hopped on the Pete Buttigieg bandwagon. The South Bend mayor has gained 15 points in the last month.
Is the poll an outlier? Maybe.
Still, the Change Research poll finds Buttigieg polling much higher than other surveys. He is at 9 percent in an Emerson College survey and 7 percent in a Morning Consult poll, both released this week.
Buttigieg was relatively unknown nationally before a CNN town hall event last month caught the attention of Washington insiders and spurred growing buzz surrounding the 37-year-old Midwest mayor.
In the past few weeks, Buttigieg has become a media sensation and a serious contender, raising $7 million in the first quarter and landing several coveted donors who previously raised millions of dollars for the Obama-Biden ticket.
No other candidate is polling in double-digits in the Change Research survey beyond Biden, Sanders and Buttigieg.

Gerbil...
Armageddon!!!
Mayor Peter Eater may find it tougher sledding in the general if he makes it that far.
He appeals to the ‘rat base, which is becoming increasingly radical. If AOC were running (can’t-she’s too young), she’d do great.
Democrats always rail against the white male candidates... and then vote for them in the polls.
Buttplug ready to pop the cork yet? By the lefts standards (yeah, WUT standards?) if one doesn’t vote for or support buttplug————racis’, homophobe, earth hater, glowbull warming denier status!
Is it too much to hope that he wins the nomination?
Biden and/or Sanders is going to have to try and knock him out.
The high-pitched squealing from the LGBTQ crowd is going to be ear-splitting.
Butta-inn will fade. In the end the Donques will have SloJo v Red Bernie, prob this time Red Bernie will win the nomination.
Someone needs to photoshop Biden sniffing Buttplug.
I think the entire dem base is 100% anally fixated. It amazes me that most of their personal identity revolves around what kind of herpes encrusted holes they jam their junk in. They seem to be totally obssessed and think of little else. I define myself by my deeds. My friends, my hobbies. I try to learn a new skill, or some other kind of knowledge, or just help a friend every day
“Buttigieg was relatively unknown nationally before a CNN town hall event last month”
I’ll bet 3/4 of the people in the next town couldn’t have picked him out of a line up before that.

Pete Buttigieg’s father was a Marxist professor who lauded the Communist Manifesto
Joseph Buttigieg, who died in January at the age of 71, immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel’s more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.
He was an adviser to Rethinking Marxism, an academic journal that published articles “that seek to discuss, elaborate, and/or extend Marxian theory,” and a member of the editorial collective of Boundary 2, a journal of postmodern theory, literature, and culture. He spoke at many Rethihttps://libertyunyielding.com/2019/04/17/pete-buttigiegs-father-was-a-marxist-professor-who-lauded-the-communist-manifesto/nking Marxism conferences and other gatherings of prominent Marxists.
I think old pete boy is just like daddy..He keep talking about how people down him for beening gay..I think he is jus trying to hide the fact he is commie so keeps lying about the gay thing and people downing him forit..
We see what you did there. I.e., he has a butt load of friends? :-)
And I thought it said Buttigieg greases the poles of Biden and Sanders.
This guy would guarantee the lowest possible voter turnout by blacks and hispanics who are generally turned off by homosexuality. He would get absolutely destroyed by Trump in the general election.
