Joe Biden has emerged as the frontrunner among Democrats, who overwhelmingly support the former vice president more than Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
According to a new CNN/SRSS poll released Tuesday morning, 39 percent of Democrats surveyed favor Biden while Sanders drew support of 15 percent of Democrats—a 24-point difference.
Biden and Sanders are the only two Democratic candidates whose support was in the double digits, the poll showed.
The next candidates to pull in the strongest numbers were Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 8 percent and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 7 percent. Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke had 6 percent support, followed by Sen. Kamala Harris at 5 percent. According to CNN, the other 17 Democratic candidates surveyed only received 2 percent support or less.
Biden's lead extends across most every major demographic or political group, though it shrinks some among younger voters (31% Biden to 19% Sanders among those under age 45), liberals (32% Biden to 19% Sanders) and whites (29% Biden to 15% Sanders among white voters).Still, only about a third of potential Democratic voters with a preference in the race (36%) say they will definitely back the candidate they currently support, 64% say they could still change their minds. Those who say they are locked in are more apt to back Biden: 50% in that group support him, 21% Sanders, 8% Warren.
Biden and Buttigieg were the only candidates to show significant gains from CNN's March survey, with the former receiving an 11-point surge in support and the latter posting a 6 percent increase.
The survey was conducted between April 25-28 and has a margin of error for Democratic-leaning voters of 5.9 percentage points.
“Biden wiped the floor with Paul Ryan when they debated.”
that’s correct; i remember watching Biden destroy Ryan, which was a total shocker because the fake media of the time had built Ryan up to be the world’s best debater and Biden as a buffoon ...
Let’s hope Bernie goes 3rd Party in 2020.
“In a head to head to debate Bernie would beat Biden. Joe has no energy”
Biden ferociously destroyed Paul Ryan in their VP debate; IF Biden can bring that kind of energy to a Dem primary debate, he could also destroy Bernie ... however, that debate won’t be one-on-one like with Ryan, so anything could happen ...
“so IF that continues, then the current standings will be locked in ... Biden will be the Democrat nominee, all the others are just wasting their time and money ...”
could very well be, but i suspect that Sanders won’t roll over this time and will go full postal in the debates; after all, he’s got nothing to lose because this is his last shot at anything due to age and I suspect he’s not really all that loyal to the Dem party since he’s only registered as a Dem to run in the primaries ... likewise the Dem party won’t be able to control him ...
“That will change when all of the other pretenders get exposed, then they will be begging Hillary to run. “
right. as if hillary is the real deal and not just another pretender herself ...
The media will not paint Biden as a buffoon again, not now that he is the designated hitter against their most-hated of all presidents ever.
The media will fawn all over sloppy Joe like sloppy Joe himself fawning over a 12-year-old girl.
Only 600 people (union sycophants) showed up for his kickoff in Pittsburgh
This is the same Joe but with a 7 year older body when he went up against Ryan. Joe is looking at 77 years this November. Bernie seems to have more energy then Joe. Bernie’s argument maybe pathetic but I believe he will fight harder this time around. Joe also has medical issues which we need to find out about. Joe did not look impressive yesterday.
“Or do they alternate?”
From what I’ve read, it seems likely that they favor popping the old jolly john thomas out of the other fellow’s anus and into his mouth. We have similar perverts in the Colorado governor’s mansion.
I can’t imagine that God is pleased with us.
Lots of people say she’s done. I’m with you. I think she’s just waiting for some of the low hanging fruit to be picked off and when their primary is in a complete state of chaos, she’ll come riding on in.
39 percent of Democrats surveyed favor Biden while Sanders drew support of 15 percent of Democrats... Warren at 8 percent... Buttigieg at 7 percent... O'Rourke had 6 percent... Harris at 5 percent... the other 17 Democratic candidates surveyed only received 2 percent support or less.
Bernie actually gets some of the problems. He doesn’t have the solution but he gets it which always makes me wonder why he doesn’t at least try and work with Trump (at least on Trade). He mentioned something yesterday about not giving government contracts to those outsourcing the work outside the country and was calling on Trump to do that. Not sure why he doesn’t feel he can’t work with Trump Biden seemed quite boring to me.
Ugh....
TMI!
Socialists are always good at articulating problems. It’s their solutions that suck.
Biden just the clown flavor of the week. Liberal media crap race. Now rounding the corner it’s Beto in the lead; Now Buttplug pulls ahead; Now Biden is making his move on the inside. Blah blah blah
"Groogle it if you doubt me"
"We chroose truth over leiszz."
Eh, don't bother it's over.
Dude has obviously had a TIA or full-blown minor stroke in the past year.
Just like the one showing Biden beating Trump - in Texas. ROFL.
Incredible re the Mediot BS that passes as news even here.
Hillary can't eschew the primary process and then walk in to take the nomination. The Dem party would be destroyed if that happened.
