Biden Still Leads In Polls, But Lags In Fundraising
The New American ^ | August 22, 2019 | R. Cort Kirkwood

Posted on 08/26/2019 12:32:04 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The top three Democratic candidates for president in 2020 are lengthening their leads over their 10 rivals in the Real Clear Politics polling average, but former vice president Joe Biden maintains his comfortable lead over Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

RCP has Biden about 13 points ahead of Sanders and Warren, and 21.4 points or better ahead of the rest of the pack, not one of whom is polling, on average, above eight percent.

His lead in state polls is anywhere from under two points to more than 20.

The message for his revivals remains this: Consistent polling shows that voters aren’t much interested in venturing into the fever swamps of the radical Left, where most all the candidates would take the party.

National Numbers

Biden’s average RCP number is 28.8, with Sanders at 16.0 and Warren at 15.4. Senator Kamala Harris is below eight points with 7.4. “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg is at five. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is at three points, and Cory Booker, the poster boy for anger management, is at 2.2.

The rest aren’t worth mentioning except to show just how abysmal their numbers are: Andrew Yang is at 1.8, Tulsi Gabbard and Julián Castro are at 1.4, Amy Klobuchar at 1.2, and Tom Steyer and Marianne Williamson at 0.8.

Sanders is in first place with $46.3 million raised year-to-date as of July 16, Politico’s campaign finance tracker reports. Warren follows in second with $35.7 million, and Buttigieg third with $32.3 million. Harris has raised $25.1 million and Biden, $22 million.

Whoa. I had no idea Biden was doing this poorly on fundraising. He's absolutely getting creamed. This is really significant and indicative of what a paper tiger he is in this race. His front-runner status is based on little more than name recognition and the fact that his opponents are such raging leftist nuts. I suspect that Pocahontas will be the one to scalp him sooner or later.

Biden is done. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Kamala Harris is done.

It’s down to crazy Bernie and Lieawatha.

I still think Biden will get the nomination, but we’ll see who’s left when all the chaff is blown away.

I also think Klobuchar would be the dems best alternative against Trump, just because she’s from the midwest, is perceived as moderate and would get a whole bunch of illogical women votes.

>>Kamala Harris is done.<<

McCain was “done” in 2008, even hauling his own bags through the airport, and then the SOB became the GOP nominee. Willie Brown’s Jamaican Whore, Kameltoe Harris, has been preselected by the DNC, and will be the ‘RAT nominee. She’s maximally intersectional, mean, vicious, hard Left, ignorant, arrogant, and skilled at verbal castration. Slow Joe, Bernie, and Princess Spreading Bull are just sacrificial lambs to get Kameltoe to the caucuses and primaries.

Biden’s probably the only Democratic front-runner acceptable to Democratic plutocrats. He doesn’t need cash. Bloomberg and other liberal plutocrats will make it up in PAC money.

Gabbard put a stake right thru her. Blacks don’t like her.

Biden’s poll numbers are easily explained. It’s NOT b/c he’s so brilliantly articulate with an insightful command of the issues. Not even close.

Biden’s proven over and over he’s a doddering, gaffe-prone has-been. But sap-happy Democrats keep his poll numbers high b/c the rest of the pack are leftist loonies.

Even the Dims who were quick to defend BJ’ed Clinton b/c “it was only sex” are not yet ready to back a chick who put her vagina in the service of her country.

Bernie’s in first place——$46.3 million raised year-to-date as of July 16 (h/t Politico).

Even Bernie knows he cant win.....but that’s OK.

AOC’s ex-aide, Chakrabati, (who once worked Bernie ‘s tech) musta taught the Socialist how to convert campaign contributions into ready-cash.

Bernie dragged out his wife, “the bank specialist,” the other day....she was all smiles.

Compared to sanders, butthead, warden, keto mcskateboard, ying yang, and who the hell is marianne williamson, biden should get the most points for being almost normal.

I think you are doubly correct.

The Democrats have no viable candidates. They want an “Oprah” or a magically reborn Bill Clinton.

Hey, I heard that Ted Kennedy now had ten years of sobriety....

Compare this to exactly four years ago today when Donald J. Trump was not only leading the pack but generating enormous excitement across the country. He had just filled a football stadium in Alabama and the lamestream media were already calling it the "Summer of Trump."

Nobody on the Democrat side this year has broken out like that. None of their candidates generate anywhere near that level of excitement.

“The Democrats have no viable candidates.”

The Dims are right where we were in ‘96 and ‘08. They’re desperate to win, trying to talk themselves into a “this candidate can win” scenario, clinging to false hope, etc. It’ll be interesting to see how they react when Trump wins again. (In fact, don’t be surprised if some Dims passively/aggressively play the violence card in the next year...”Well, if Trump wins again I hope there’s no violence from those who feel threatened...”)
