Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has improved his standing in the national Democratic race for president, joining former Vice President Joe Biden in a two-person top tier above the rest of the field, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
The poll marks the first time Biden has not held a solo lead in CNNs national polling on the race.
Overall, 27% of registered voters who are Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents back Sanders, while 24% favor Biden. The margin between the two is within the polls margin of sampling error, meaning there is no clear leader in this poll. Both, however, are significantly ahead of the rest of the field, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 14% and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 11%. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg lands at 5% in the poll, while Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and businessman Andrew Yang each hold 4% support. Businessman Tom Steyer has 2%. No other candidate reaches 1% support.
That could be bad news for Biden, but it is a CNN poll not the best.
We have a couple of old white guys, one who had a heart attack and is a communist, and the other whose mind is going and is a socialist, competing for number one because the others are that bad. JOE SAYS NO DEPORTATION OF DRUNK DRIVERS
Joe Biden and his family are surrounded by allegations of corruption and he cant make sense on the campaign trail. There is no way he should be anywhere near a presidential campaign, much less the star of one.
Biden is also moving far-left on all issues. He will do whatever the far-left wants. He was always far-left but now hes way off the charts on open borders he will invite illegals in with free healthcare, and he is extreme on climate change, guns, you name it.
Joe Biden would order ICE to not deport illegals for drunk driving. All the people who lost loved ones due to drunk drivers and drunk drivers who are here illegally might disagree.
It is a serious crime to get behind a wheel inebriated or hopped up on drugs knowing you could hurt or kill someone else.
He wants to fire them whatever the Hay that means.
You only arrest for the purpose of a felony that is committed, and I dont count drunk driving as a felony, Biden said.
We dont have enough drunk drivers of our own?
JOE CANT PUT A SENTENCE TOGETHER
The President has it right when he says Joe cant put a sentence together.
Hes still stumbling. Democrats like Joe dont know what to do about murderers so they want to take guns from lawful gun owners. But, ole Joe doesntknow what hes talking about.
Hillary or a clone close to her.
Could also be one of the billionaires.
#33. That kind of “stupid” is “Delaware Stupid”. Comes from drinking polluted water for many years. Biden should have stuck to wine and beer. Oh, he did? My bad.
Explains why he sounds like an old stumblebum. At least Bernie can articulate some of his Marxism. Poor Liz can’t even spell the name of her Indian tribe. Just another Harvard Marxist screwed up ex-professor, professional liar, and all around old leftist hag who dresses like she shops at the To Destroy section of the Salvation Army.
if the MSM, ABCNNBCBSWaPoNYTLAT doesn’t report it, it didn’t happen..................
Hey dims! Your candidate will be an old white guy.
Until hillary steps in.
Once the media can no longer totally protect senile old Joe, it will be over.
How many centrists Dems are going to vote for Trump, that’s the thing Dems should be freaking out about.
Quite a few, I believe.
Many of the multi-generational Democrats, the ‘My daddy and my granddaddy were Democrats’ types, will flee these commie-come-latelys, like AOC, Fauxcahontas and Bern baby Bern!.................
Just look at what happened to Labour in the recent British elections.
The Democrats have to know they are in the same bind, with their leftward drift.
I may be just pipe dreaming, but I believe California and NY may be in play!.....................
I don’t see Trump winning in those states, but it will be closer than last time.
I have a friend who’s a retired NYC cop, Bronx, now living in south Florida. He says all his friends and relatives are Trump
supporters, but they keep their mouths shut about it in public.
If they lose either state, it’s over................
That guy floating helplessly in the rapids is Joe Biden, who jumped in Left River when it was only a gentle stream. If he seems more radical it’s only because that’s where the water carries him.
He’s no more authentically radical than the bug on your windshield is an authentic navigator.
But he’s just as finito as that bug!......................
Good stuff. Let’s keep it coming.
I think the basis for all things done by the Sanders types is a lack of belief in God and lack of a religious faith.
Bill O’Reilly said one of his final Fox shows if a large group of people have no religious faith then they act out of self-interest and are not inhibited in any way from letting go with any form of evil behavior or violent acts. Nothing to slow them down.
Sanders and the other Socialist/Communists and those calling themselves Dems are poster creeps for that theory.
I prefer Mr. Magoo.
I don’t think the majority of folks polled are really following the candidates - consider the no-watch debates. All of them are, in a way, like Hillary: the more you know about them the less you like them. Just imagine the convention.
