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.

Faux News.
Plugs Biden cant be bothered with responding to anything Trump has to say. Plugs is busy finding candidates and appointees for his new administration.
I should be beating him by 50 points!
LMAO
the outfit that does the FOX polls now is run by a rabid hardcore leftist lesbian.....true story.
Cool.....
Remember that they had Beto over Trump by 10 points in these silly polls. If that was even remotely true, Beto would not have dropped out of the race Friday night.
Let's stop promoting this nonsense.
That would be even bigger than Reagan beating Carter by 9.7%!!!!!!!!!!!
B S
This is a nothing poll. Sample size was highly questionable with very high Democratic sample and unreasonable Republican and Independents low samples. Anymore nowadays you take a poll to frame a message none of these public polls are worth paying attention to.
Faux News absurd oversample would make even CNN blush.
They have to pay people to go see Bidem snooze
This is laughable.
BULLS**T!
Never have been worth paying attention to...
Fake poll.
President Trump needs to start tweeting out the polling biases. It may be the only way to get the numbers out there.
I second that!!
Was just thinking that Lyin Ryans sabotaging of Trump may actually have more to do with Pence than Trump. Its Pence that Ryan would have to face in a future GOP Presidential Primary. Ryan knows that Pence running as the sitting VP would be tough to beat, so Ryan needs to make sure that Pence is NOT the sitting VP.
FWIW...I personally dont think either one will ever be the nominee.
Biden doesn’t even know what state he’s besides confusion.
Funny 2 impeachment polls today, they polled the always accurate adults lol
