Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has jumped into fourth place in the Democratic primary contest with 9 percent support among Democrats nationwide, a poll published Wednesday shows.

The top contenders remain unchanged, according to the Monmouth University survey: Former Vice President Joe Biden was the choice of 30 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders had 23 percent and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren came in with 14 percent.

Bloomberg is trailed by former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 6 percent and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar at 5 percent.

Thanks to Nanny Bloom I have had to endure political ads on TV living in VA. Way too early for that ****.

[1Old Pro]

under 10% at this stage is pretty dismal.

He is being beat by a Gay Mayor from a nothing town.

So, will he be in the next debate?

Bloomberg has the charisma of an iguana.

Just remember that if you are polling 10%, that means 90% of those polled did not pick YOU. They picked various other people ahead of you. It must be cost him $1B per % point

This is the 3rd poll to show Bloomberg at 9% or above. That's the difference between Bloomberg and Steyer. Steyer is a portfolio manager who hasn't run anything bigger than a team of analysts and traders. Bloomberg built a 20,000 employee organization from scratch. While both have spent north of $100m of their personal funds and Steyer had a head start, Bloomberg is deploying his funds with the skill of a seasoned business owner and operator:

Biden is still in first place which tells you the mentality of democrap voters. “Oh he gropes children, he’s corrupt as hell, his mental health is questionable, PERFECT!

[SMARTY]

It says more about polls than it does about him

[dfwgator]

I don’t think the vast majority of people have even spent a minute worrying about who they are going to vote for yet.

Hillary had the charisma of the Wicked Witch of the West and she won the Democratic nomination. I doubt Bloomberg gives off quite the same satanic vibe that Hillary did.

[eclectic]

The other contestants are that bad.

[griswold3]

What can $200M buy?

[thefactor]

The real story is that Biden is still the one to beat. The man is not well and Trump will wipe the floor with him. I just pray the Rs take the House and keep the Senate.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Just proves that 1950's TV advertising techniques still work.

byyyy.....Mennen...…

[Anti-Bubba182]

This is all from advertising. I wonder how far he can go?

It looks like the New Yawk Times endorsed the wrong two nags.
