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.
It doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to see how all that could collapse back onto Europe once all Christians are gone...
Big beautiful Bernie...lol
How entertaining would this be during presidential debates.
Whenever I get robocalls, spam texts or wandering political activists for Bernie, I tell them "Remember Venezuela!"
They generally just shut up and take me off their list. (Or add me to one, perhaps...)
Might have been the plan all along... Biden wins the primaries and then gets taken out by scandal and bingo! We have a brokered convention. No wonder Hitlery is trying to sabotage Bernie now that the news is out prematurely.
Democrats will never learn. The more they pick on Bernie, the higher his ratings will go. Americans believe in fair play. Americans do not like bullying.
Dems running an 80 year old Communist with a bad ticker who just had a serious heart attack a few months ago sounds like a good deal to me.
But Sanders won’t be nominated, the DNC will do whatever it takes to cheat him again if he doesn’t collapse on his own. Wouldn’t be surprised if they go as far as to assassinate him, that’s well within their established repertoire.
It’s the only issue where I think the President is incorrect. I’m going to say he is misinformed on this. At least that’s my guess.
BUT I have no doubt Hillary Obama 2.0 would have pushed it forward with much vigor as well.
Further, Hillary would have given Iran a complete pass.
To say we live in interesting times is an understatement.
Yes. Makes me wonder if Iran is going to make their big mistake on the watch of President Trump?
It’s anyone’s guess but I suppose the world is gonna find out one way or another.
great comic
Russia’s doing it. They keep making Joe look like an addle-pated, bumbling buffoon who likes to sniff hair and use high office to get sinecures for his relatives. Those fiends!
Is Biden another Teflon Bill? By now everyone MUST know about his son and Burisma?
“...It is going to be fun to watch the Bernie Bots explode when they finally realize it....”
LOL...yep. Perhaps they’ll break away and run for old Bernie on a 3rd party ticket. Or even worse for the RATs, they’ll vote for Trump just out of pure spite....LOL
This is ridiculous. Some of you guys sound like the smart conservative tacticians in 2008 openly rooting for Barack Obama because he’d be so much easier to beat than Hillary Clinton. Worked out real well.
Bernie is no Barack Obama.
In terms of policy hes as bad or worse.
In terms of electability, Bernie is no Barack Obama.
What is really scary is that Bernie has any support at all. It’s bizarre to think that many Americans buy his commie crap.
I don’t know who it’ll be up there for the dems but I just think if it’s Bernie it would be funny.
I think Warren would be boring.
My bet is still on Joe.
They will have someone up there.
we should deport those who want communism in this country for one year to Cuba and see how they like it.
Absolutely. These people are nuts.
The Democrats let the socialists in, in 06 and now they have lost control of their party. Everything they do turns to sh*t. Obama & Clinton were the mistake machine as Biden is the gaffe machine. It all comes crashing down like a cheap house of cards. They have their Trump derangement delusions to keep them warm.
