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.
Can’t the Democrat leadership just declare that all votes for Bernie in its primaries are null and void because Bernie is NOT a registered member of the Democrapt Party?
I'll guess Big Maude Tyler said it to Barnie in "Convicts At Large" episode.
But the tie-in with this thread (see, we're not off topic at all) is that's what Joe Biden says to every young and old female he encounters in public.
They could, but wont...................
lol
hehe OK I could live this old fossil commie bastard. It will be entertaining during the debates..
Those two hate each other.
As things stand right now, probably Tulsi.
You’re right. Stupid like that is reserved for special occasions. Like total eclipses. Which is much like Biden’s conversation skills.
I have some liberal friends that I love to tweak, and they are big time Bernie supporters...
And it drives them crazy when I tell them I honestly and sincerely hope Bernie is their nominee.
I have no doubt Biden will get the nomination. He is the Democrat partys chosen one. It will be Gaffes Galore. Fun, fun, fun!!
It is a terrible sign for our civilzation that Bernie has so much support.
Who’s got all the super delegates? National polls don’t mean squat in the ‘Democrat’ process unless you’re getting ALL the available delegates. There won’t be any panic until after Trump is found not guilty, then the Democrats realize they gotta actually run one of the idiots as their “presidential” candidate..
Rest assured, pretty much everybody who has gotten the hell out of Venezuela is on our side. That includes almost all of the educated professionals.
I just hope his deteriorating mental state continues it's decline so he becomes incoherent, like Mueller.
Only ¡YEB! can save us from Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump will never be the Republican nominee.
Polls never lie.
Most Americans do not take calls from numbers not on their contact list. They turn away strangers who come to their door. In addition, many people lie to pollsters and discuss how to mess with pollsters and salesmen in humorous ways.
There is no way to get a statistically relevant sample.
So even when a poll reports something that I believe to be true I don’t give it much weight.
A lot of Freepers have that thought.
I’m panicky too, that half the voters could vote for BiteMe, Lieawatha, or Comrade Bernie.
Can only hope that PDJT deploys his deadliest debating technique: provoke his opponent into shouts, insults, finger wagging, & other indicia that he/she has lost control of their emotions.
The perpetually angry Bernie can be goaded into turning beet red and shake his finger at Trump who then has to be careful he doesn’t make Bernie stroke out while shouting “Capitalist pig!”, “Exploiter of the proletariat!” “Wall Street imperialist”, and of course, “Enemy of the people!”
It’s almost as if Democrats want to lose.
“....Im panicky too, that half the voters could vote for BiteMe, Lieawatha, or Comrade Bernie ....”
Romney is wrong about most things but he’s right about the 47%! The FreeShit Army is very large!
Bernie will drop out due to “health reasons” or he’ll step aside once again with a new magical house appearing
