What’s behind Elizabeth Warren’s comeback in the polls

The headlines for the 2020 Democratic primary election polls are still the same — Joe Biden is well ahead of everybody else — but the most interesting trend is the uptick in support for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the first major candidate to announce way back in December.

Warren, who had been lagging with just 4 percent in a March Quinnipiac University poll, reached 13 percent in their latest survey, nearly matching Sen. Bernie Sanders at 16 percent with Biden in the lead at 35 percent.

Looking across multiple polls paints a clearer picture of Biden’s lead — but also the Massachusetts senator’s rise. The former vice president is averaging nearly 40 percent in national primary polls, coming down a bit after a surge upon announcing his own candidacy this month. Sanders has seen his support drop lately while Warren, the rising bronze bar in this Real Clear Politics’s chart of 2020 polling averages over the last several months, has seen a steady uptick.

(Yawn) call me when they clear the back-stretch. It’s way too early to pay attention to any of the ‘moves’ that are being made in this horse race. The only thing that can be said for sure is that only 1 can win, so all the other favorites are going to disappoint. Ms. Warren will be one of them.

I can honestly say that I’ve never heard Warren give a speech. But I’ve seen numerous pictures of her distorted face & finger-waving that makes her look like a tin-pot South American dictator. Her visuals are terrible.

She comes across like Hillary and all other angry feminists...

as soon as her level of speech increases it's easy to turn her off....
