Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is leading former Vice President Joe Biden in a hypothetical matchup of the 2020 New Hampshire Democratic primary, according to a new survey.
Sanders, who won New Hampshire in his unsuccessful bid to upset Hillary Clinton in the 2016 campaign, maintains stronger support in the state than any other presidential hopeful of his party. That includes party luminaries such as Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, according to the University of New Hampshire's survey.
the Granite State Poll found. "Democratic primary voters most recently mentioned Bernie Sanders (14 percent), Joe Biden (five percent), Hillary Clinton (five percent), Elizabeth Warren (four percent), and Joseph Kennedy III (four percent)."
Sanders' support rose when the respondents were provided a list of potential candidates. That question revealed 31 percent support for the self-described socialist, compared to 24 percent for Biden and 13 percent for Warren.
The survey results come as Sanders is planning his second trip to New Hampshire in two months, though he has declined to say if he intends to run and must win reelection in Vermont in 2018.
"It's a no-lose situation for Sanders to continue to visit," University of New Hampshire political science professor Dante Scala told the Concord Monitor. "Even if he has no intention of running in 2020, every time he crosses the New Hampshire border, he automatically will get media coverage for the issues he wishes to discuss, as long as the presidency remains an open question for him."
Sanders has also traveled to Iowa while touting a single-payer health care bill that he hopes will form the basis for Democratic policy the next time the party controls Congress and the White House.

Biden won’t be around in 19. Bernie may last a while, but I expect front runners to be Mark Cuban, Terry McCauliffe and John Kasich after he switches parties.
Catheter commercial.
Given that 25% of the Dem party is black, somebody (D. Patrick, K. Harris, etc.) will go for that voting bloc. The whole party is built on identity politics, and Biden/Cuban/Sanders don’t sell to them.
the gonzo crazy blm wing of the demonrat party will never go to biden, heck they may not even support fauxahontas!
...4th-graders.
I wouldn’t rule out a castro brother from the southwest going for that voting block as well...
I forgot about Harris. I’d put her near the top.
Bernie will be 79 in 2020, IF he is still with us.
The Democratic Party likes ‘em old, really old.
Dead, even.
Fidel dead. :-)
Leader in what, geriatric wheelchair races?
They should all run as a new type of ‘Vermont Coalition President.’
Enough Massholes have moved north so that it is now “tread on me”.
Not that dead. More like Lenin dead.
2020 should be fun.....
We should be so lucky. Let’s replay 2016 in 2020 and see what happens. Having these geezers in the running immediately removes any questions regarding Trump’s age and Trump will hardly have to campaign for a walkover re-election.
Maybe they could be running mates.
when I am king, there will be no report, declaration or poll on a federal election longer than 4 months before the date of the elections. Primaries will b by regions and in the forty month. The conventions in the third month. The campaign 50 days. Violators will be shot on site. their bodies tarred and feathered and hung in the town square.
