Aside from Biden's increase, the only statistically meaningful change in the candidate standings is a 12-point decline in support for California Sen. Kamala Harris, who stood at 17% support in the June poll but now has the backing of 5% of potential Democratic voters.

Even Democratic primary voters recognize Willie Brown’s WAG is a fraud.

Whorris is a pitiful candidate.

It’s amazing how thin skinned and arrogant she is.

Not a leader, not even a little bit.

My prediction: When the dust settles, it will be Fauxcahontas standing.

The shift returns Biden to a double-digit lead over his nearest competitors, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at 15% and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 14%. Their support is largely unchanged since earlier this summer. Aside from Biden's increase, the only statistically meaningful change in the candidate standings is a 12-point decline in support for California Sen. Kamala Harris, who stood at 17% support in the June poll but now has the backing of 5% of potential Democratic voters.

So Kamala has tanked and Warren is again below Bernie. I can only conclude that Democrats are not ready for a Female President.

Maybe the Rats will “mail this one in”, like the GOP did with Bob Dole.

There was a story Harris is not going to participate in a CNN forum on Global Warming. The story is Harris’ handlers are uncomfortable her ad-libbing.

The lie about being bused got her a bunch of sympathy. But white liberals had second thoughts about a candidate who wants to send their kids to a school in the ghetto. Virtue signaling at the expense of their kids is something even liberals have second thoughts about.

Assume that 25% of Democratic voters are not socialist radicals. Who other than Biden would they support? Biden rebounded a bit in the polls when his handlers adopted a strategy to keep him quiet and not speak spontaneously in public. This strategy cannot work long term in a Presidential election campaign. Democrats just might nominate an unelectable candidate and that will be a disaster for Pelosi and Schumer.

I tend to agree. I wouldn’t want to go up against Harris because she strikes me as ruthless and unprincipled to a degree remarkable even for RATs.

Warren, on the other hand, is a loon who can easily be mocked. Heck, she mocks herself every time she opens her mouth.

Sounds like whichever advisor to Willie’s ex-squeeze gave her instructions to take out Biden with the race card is a real political genius.

This is great news! It means the rat is stuck with a brain dead imbecile that will be just scary enough to get “moderate and independent” lazy voters to the polls and thus help down ballot Republicans.

Joe at 29%, which means 71% are for someone else.

From your fingers on the keyboard to God’s ears.

Harris has time to recover.

Warren is too shallow to persist, so I'd rather see her as the nominee.

Harris is devious and quick enough to intimidate some detractors.

She would be the tougher opponent.

It is still early. Despite the best efforts of the RAT pack, the campaign hasn't yet started. Polls this early are about name recognition, nothing more.

Biden is past his sell by date, and another year will do nothing to improve that. Quite the opposite.

As for round heels, she has every bit of personal appeal as Hillary. Loud, obnoxious women? I don't think so.

By default I think Warren has the inside track.

Biden probably.

Psychojawea will never recover from her fraud and theft towards the Indian tribes because people far less tolerant than you mock not only her but her supporters as well over it.

I never let anyone supporting her off the hook over it.

The kenyan and his network are all in for Harris.

Harris doesn't have time to recover.
Time was never on her side, and she needs to secure the nomination BEFORE too many people learn about her, particularly her record as Attorney General of San Francisco and being Willie Brown's mistress before that.
