A majority of Democrats want to nominate New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for president instead of Joe Biden, according to poll results shared exclusively with The Post.
The national poll found 56 percent of Democrats prefer Cuomo, with 44 percent wanting to stick with presumptive nominee Biden — a 12-point margin well outside the 4.8 percent margin of error for the Democratic sample.
Hispanic voters, young people, women and self-identified liberals are most likely to favor dumping the former vice president for Cuomo.
Among people of any party — including independents — who voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, the percentage favoring Cuomo increased to 57 percent.
Of those who voted for President Trump in 2016, 53 percent wanted Democrats to keep Biden.
Cuomo was also backed by core Democratic constituencies. Among black voters — who helped Biden defeat Democratic primary rival Sen. Bernie Sanders — 55 percent favored Cuomo, with just 45 percent wanting to keep Biden.
Among voters age 25 to 34 of any party, preference for Cuomo hit 67 percent. Fifty-seven percent of all women and 58 percent of Hispanic voters preferred Cuomo.

Joe Biden was “dropped”, on his head, a long time ago. Glad to see that the Democrat Party is finally catching up to his situation.
Anyone who replaces Biden will have to get him to step down quickly. As the days march on, there is lest time to get funding for the new campaign. Nothing will catch up to Trump’s War Chest. They are stuck with Biden who will officially enter the race after the convention, which will be delayed or cancelled because of the scourge.
The Biden race will then get the green flag with a car with a screw loose, an engine out of time and an EFI with a weak fuel pump. Biden will try to get out of the debates and who knows what prosecutor John Durham has on him by that time.
The only chance for the Dems is for voter fraud and the illegal border crossers voting.
Don’t forget Bernie didn’t drop out. He merely suspended his campaign. There is no way he was leaving that door open,+ his new house needs a garage.
Noooo! Joe deserves his shot at the prize.
“Biden will try to get out of the debates”
that’s actually an interesting thought ... either way, Biden is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t ... In the unlikely event that Biden dodges the debates, the attempts to spin this in Biden’s favor from the evil stream media would be something to behold ...
“the dems nomination process has a multitude of super delegates ... I think he can be replaced”
the super delegates represent only 15% of the total delegates by the time of any second or subsequent ballots, so their power to swing the nomination is limited ...
“besides, unless Joe dies or is killed, there’s little chance the DNC could replace him with anyone ..”
Wonder if Vegas has odds re your comment above?
I have been watching Dem Underground over the last 2 weeks — scanning the Most Discussed threads.
And I have seen no indication whatsoever that the Dems would go for Cuomo.
They mostly support Biden and have been fighting for a few weeks to see Sanders get out of the race.

I’ve been watching for a few months, and it’s been a pretty lively debate between the Bernie bots and Biden supporters there.
I believe Dem Underground is an indicator of what the party faithful are thinking — and slightly more progressive than the base. Kind of like Freepers: we are generally more conservative than the Republican party base.
