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.

“Bloomberg jumps to fourth place in new national poll”
and yet, bloomy barely registers (if at all) in the RCP poll averages for individual state primaries/caucuses ...
“under 10% at this stage is pretty dismal.”
Well in all fairness he’s only spent about a kabillion dollars so far. He has wasted thousands running non-stop ads in lower Alabama for crying out loud. I was watching YouTube videos last night. Every ad was Bloomberg. I’m sure his numbers will go up if he only spends a few more millions of dollars.
“Money talks, bullshit walks.”
But also, money can sell bullshit.
little gulp will spend and spend his way into the convention
“Bloomberg has the charisma of an iguana.”
Strange you say that. He has always reminded me of a lizard; he is very reptilian.
and it only cost a billion dollars.
He is being beat by a Gay Mayor from a nothing town.
Bloomberg?
Bloomberg's rise in polls just goes to demonstrate the power and effectiveness
of almost unlimited financial resources.
It means, succinctly, that votes can "be bought".
Besides advocating for the "Nanny State", control of plastics, recycling,
unConstitutional 'gun control' and limiting paper and sugar products,
what else does he offer ?
A president, or a leader should be out front, to answer questions, or present a plan.
But has he had any press conferences ?- no, he remains aloof,
and stays in his private mansion, coming out only while surrounded by adoring sycophants.
Aloof and arrogance are his main attributes; his money got him this far,
he compels dictatorial compliance, rather than participation in discussion and compromise.
Boo hoo for Mean Little Pete, Midget Mikey has taken out Midget Pete, it’s the Battle of the Midgets!!!
He is being beat by a Gay Mayor from a nothing town.
..make that a FAILED gay Midget Mayor from a FAILED nothing town of no more than 100,000.
There are 40% blacks in South Bend and he has close to zero percent approval from them. They’re smart enough to know that Mean Little Pete made many promises to South Bend blacks, broke almost every promise and then abandoned his job as mayor over a year ago.
Buttigieg is the Biden alternative. #2 Sanders and #3 Warren are too radical for Democratic libertine plutocrats. But Buttigieg is falling behind Bloomberg. Bloomberg is positioning himself ahead of Buttigieg. It’s very possible that Bloomberg will end up displacing Biden. If Biden falters, I expect libertine plutocrats to swing their resources behind Bloomberg, even though he really doesn’t need their money. So they will spend all their money backing downticket Democrats. 2020 promises to be massive, from a campaign finance perspective, with Democrats possibly outspending the GOP 10 to 1 depending on how crazy Bloomberg gets with his media buys and campaign hiring.
Bloomberg is the most underestimated candidate in the race.
Yes, he sucks, so what, they all suck. He has no charisma, correct, none of them do.
He’s jumped and hit a quick plateau, without being in a debate. This is common. But look at the rest, except for Biden they are all falling. Look at Iowa and New Hampshire, ignore the national polling. Bloomers is working a “last man standing” strategy, it’s interesting because the rest look like staggering marathoners at 20 miles and the campaign is just getting started.
Try living here in NH.
TV, radio, Internet, phone calls @ home, phone calls on your cell phone. It is constant. All to target 250K voters(dems).
I am sure Iowa is the same.
[He’s jumped and hit a quick plateau, without being in a debate.]
HEEEYYY...
Why you wanna go insult decent, self-respectin’ salt-of-the-earth iguanas like that?
Actually, it speaks volumes for the mentality of the democrap CANDIDATES. A lot of people look at the mental health ward patients that are running for President and figure that Biden is the least Bat-Schiff Crazy of the bunch.
And speaking of ads, every other ad on TV here in California is either little Mikey Bloomberg or little Tommy Steyer telling us that President Trump is "a bad man, a VERY bad man" and how they'll do things so much better.
Of course, there's the little question of respect for the voters and the process. DJT loves and respects the voters and the primary process and proved it by fully participating in the process and accepting individual donations.
Bloomturd, OTOH, has nothing but withering contempt for the voters, both DemonShit and Republican, as proven by his refusal to participate in the early primaries, his refusal to participate in the debates, his refusal to respect voters by taking their contributions, and his vile, contemptuous efforts to buy the DemonShit nomination and the election. This withering contempt for America and Americans of all stripes profoundly disqualifies him for the Presidency.
Please stop disrespecting Iguanas by comparing them to Bloomturd.
