Sanders climbs, now tied with Biden among registered voters: Reuters poll

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has been steadily climbing in popularity this year and is now tied with former Vice President Joe Biden for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination among registered voters, according to a Reuters/Ipsos national poll.

The online poll, released Thursday, shows that 20% of registered Democrats and independents said they would back Sanders over 11 other candidates to run in the general election against President Donald Trump, an increase of 2 percentage points from a similar poll that ran last week.

Another 19% supported Biden, 12% said they would vote for Senator Elizabeth Warren, 9% backed former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and 6% said they would support Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.

Sanders and Bloomberg have increased their level of support in each of the last three Reuters/Ipsos polls starting in mid-December, while support for Biden, Warren and Buttigieg has remained flat.

The poll also shows that about one in five potential primary voters remain undecided. And among those who have picked, nearly two out of three say they are open to changing their minds.

Sanders, an independent who built a national network of fervent supporters while running for the party’s nomination in 2016, has consistently ranked among the most popular candidates since he entered the race.

The poll shows that standing does not appear to have been hurt by his recent confrontation with Warren over Sanders’ views of women and politics.

Warren, who is aligned with Sanders on a variety of issues, has accused him of telling her in 2018 that a woman could not be elected president. Sanders disputes that claim, and the two sniped at each other after this week’s presidential debate about how they were framing the conversation in public.

20, 20, 19, 12, 9, and 6%... Not one candidate seems to be able to get more than 30%, even as the number of competitors in the race continues to shrink.

These were the numbers on July 18, 2019, when there were 24 candidates in the field:
The Real Clear Politics Average…..7/18/19
Biden….28.4
Sanders…15.0
Warren….14.6
Harris….12.6
Buttigieg…4.8

Democrats DO have a day of reckoning coming. I mean that can't be both wacko leftest commies and not be wacko leftist commies. For decades they masked the commie planks of their platform. Now, too many are demanding they champion them. Maybe we are a commie country, but I don't think so. Not yet any.

Wild guess on the Iowa outcome -- Buttplug will finish above Sanders and both behind Biden.

The only way she'd be the nominee is if she killed all the other nominees. Hmm, wait a second... maybe it's not so farfetched...

"Sanders might just get the nomination."

Movement within the MoE is statistical 'noise'.

All this says is that #BernBros are an fixed wheel in the 20% range within the Donkey Cart.

Which will get you 2nd or 3rd in Iowa BUT whether the #BernBros show their face at the caucus, after Sheer Heart Attack has failed to renounce Kyle Jurek or own up to telling #faux to "Stay out, squaw!", is another matter altogether. His internals with women and blacks are disastrous.

I don't think so, but I hope you are right.

What a contrast between President Trump and this communist.

Trump might get 400 EC votes against bernie.
