Tldr: Biden recovers from post-first debate, while Harris drops (CNN bad news for the Rats poll)

CNN Politics ^ | August 20, 2019

[Zakeet]

Our new CNN/SSRS poll shows the Democratic primary has mostly reverted back to where it was before the first Democratic primary debates. Joe Biden's at 29% now compared to 32% in late May and 22% in late June ... Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is at 5% now, while she was at ... 17% in late June.

[Snip]

Here are a few other takeaways from the poll:

• Warren, for now, cannot seem to appeal outside of her base of very liberal and white college educated base. She leads or is close to ahead with both groups, but well behind in others.
• Sanders, meanwhile, seems to have leveled off at 15%. He's been within 4 points of 15% in every national poll CNN has done since last October.
• Biden's support is 15 points higher among those age 50 and older than those under aged 50. It's 12 points higher among moderates/conservatives than liberals. His bases of support are underrepresented on Twitter.
• After the first debate, there were five candidates voters were interested in hearing more about than Biden and Sanders. Now, there's just one (Warren).

With this dofus the best they got ... ya almost have to feel sorry for those poor dumb rats ... almost ...

This is not a pro Biden result, it is an anti rest of field.

Harris is at 5%? What happened?

I never bought my “that little girl was me” shirt from her campaign, the shirt which shows a scowling little girl Kamala.

I wonder if others similarly didn’t buy their shirts to boost the finances of the campaign.

Think her record against crime in CA as AG is coming out. It’s like her, not pretty.

Tulsi Gabbard tanked the living hell out of Harris.

She’s out of it. I don’t even think she’s a viable VP candidate.... not with her DA record.

[Conserv]

Sorry, her record as Attorney General.

these single-poll articles are little more than click bait ... the thing to look at is the RCP poll average:

Three Nationality Harris is not a natural born citizen.

Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they can’t possibly be anything else and have only ONE nationality.

Kamala was their great hope, but she turned out to be a flop on the campaign trail. Bernie will never go up in the polls from where he is so effectively it’s all over but his much enjoyed attention. Warren is a kook, she is peaking at her current level.

Sleepy Joe is the only guy that the Dem establishment that still controls the party can live with. I suspect he moves higher in the polls and the others become totally irrelevant...then BOOM. He is forced to drop out days before the convention and Hillary is polling higher that the others who are now all below 10-15% - she wins a brokered convention.

Amazing.

Of course she is. She’s a twofer. Joe needs her to turn out the black vote and the women’s vote. My prediction is that if Joe wins the nomination, Harris is his choice for VP.

The whole subject of NBC is moot since the election of Barak Hussein. Anyone on earth is eligible.If Chandragupta Rakashvilli born and raised and residing in Mumbai were to declare himself a candidate on the Democrat ticket the Congress would pass a resolution declaring him a NBC and away we go.

[arthurus]

Not any more. The Congress and the voters mooted all that in 2008.

[Conserv]

Harris won’t turn out the black vote.

Black dems don’t like her.

Biden gets 47 percent of black Democrats, with 16 percent for Sanders, 8 percent for Warren and 1 percent for Harris;

Well, I continue to think that Dinobernie is in good shape. He has a VERY solid 15%—the article admits this.

While Biteme is the leader, this guy has a glass jaw and will collapse at some point. Since the other challengers are crashing fast, I think there is a good chance a large segment of their voters will go to Dinobernie.

Second, Dinobernie can raise $$ better than anyone, and has a better organization than anyone. If he wins IA or comes in second, wins NH as it seems he will, then all he has to do is keep Biteme from winning SC. Dinobernie can come in second.

[Verginius Rufus]

If Bernie is the nominee, whom does he pick for VP? Stacy Abrams? Angela Davis? Julian Castro? The black guy who almost won in Florida?

[LS]

Yeah, probably a person of color.
