Economic expertise and crisis management skills are top qualities Democratic voters want to see in a vice-presidential pick for their party - even more so than executive or legislative experience - as concerns about the pandemic and the economy now become a lens through which voters see that selection process.
Those criteria become even more important to Democrats who are very concerned about either their own job losses, or contracting the coronavirus themselves.
Elizabeth Warren is well atop Democratic voters' list of those who should be considered for vice president - with 71% saying she should be - and Warren also outpaces other possible picks by a wide margin as their first choice for the job: Warren at 36% first choice, to Kamala Harris' 19%, Stacey Abrams at 14%, and Amy Klobuchar at 13%. No one else gets over 4%.
Warren is the top pick among white Democrats and liberals by large margins. Warren is among the top picks for black Democrats too, but they are more evenly split between Warren, Abrams and Harris. Warren is also among the top with moderate Democrats, for whom the top three picks are Warren, Klobuchar and Harris.
Former first lady Michelle Obama was not listed among the potential picks but was asked about in a stand-alone question. Most Democrats (64%) would like to see her on the ticket if she were in the running.

What an incredibly stupid thing to say. I suggest you read the Constitution before making vapid comments.
-——they need party unity.——
Exactly
The Obaa, Clinton, Pelosi endorsements means there is party consensus on Biden as the nominee. There is likely similar consensus on the VP that is being withheld
Have they conceded the election for unity or are they plotting something truly sinister?
Hashtag anybodybutbiden ping.
Ha ...and a Pence - Warren debate
Screaming fake Indian schoolmarm meets unflappable, Stoic and resolute VP.
Could you imagine if Pence at the beginning offered Warren a peace pipe, asking for a civilized, positive debate of the issues?
The Injun is the perfect choice for Biden. It’s political suicide for Warren, as she will never be able to run and win any other race afterwards. (Race, get it ... Bevis and Butthead laugh.)
Fibber McGee and Mollie...
Perhaps it would be more relevant to wonder about Pocahantas’s choice for a running mate, or rather the DNC’s choice of whom to put with her when she replaces Decrepit Old Joe.
Probably not today but another month of shutdown and no economic improvement will do him severe damage.
The Clinton/Obama party masters need to hold onto control over the party apparatus.
The danger is a split party with the Bernie Bros leaving, which would destroy the DNC for a generation.
The bigger danger is letting the Bernie Bros take over control of the party. They would purge the Clinton/Obama party masters in favor of hard-core socialists.
For the Democratic Party, 2020 is about maintaining control over the party.
He’ll have to make sure her hair passes the sniff test first.
Ha! Fake injunction Squaw, eh? It’s not as if old Joe needed any more reason to lose
Picking Warren will inflame Bernie supporters even more...Biden dropping out still seems very possible...Hiding in his basement unable to finish a sentence is not going well. Tara Reade reminds everyone what a Perv he is, images of Joe mauling kids says it all...Warren has to look the other way & pretend it’s okay....
I think she is better than Hillary — people don’t have the same level of visceral hatred for her. It also gets their base together. It will be a get out the vote election — esp. if the virus issue pops up again during the election (a second wave), only the dedicated will go out to vote. I think Kamala or an Amy would be better for us, as they are not lefty enough for the dem crowd.
Economic expertise and crisis management skills are top qualities Democratic voters want.
If that’s true all they have to do is vote Trump.
DIRTY JOEK BIDEN, SNIFFING A 12 YEAR OLDS HAIR.
CHINA JOEK BIDEN SELLING OUT TO CHICOMS WHILE VP AND SINCE
WITH HIS CORRUPT SON AND BROTHER.
He sounds just like all the other democrats bad and history has proved it.
Guess you haven’t seen the boat parade from Jupiter to Mar A Lago yesterday.
Hundreds of boats thousands of people.
America will re-elect The Donald.
If you are paying attention only to CNN or NBC then you are not getting reality.
As Trump says if Warren had dropped out before super tuesday Bernie would be the nominee.
If Biden picks her then the Bernie Bros. would surmise the fix was in and VP pick is Liz’s payoff.
They hate Warren for ruining Breadline Bernie’s chances.
The Bros. won’t show up to vote for Joek.
Joek’s wife wants the Ghettopotomus Abrams, Jill thinks
her 350 lbs will keep Joek from attacking her.
and her far left positions killed the money train on her campaign. Which them tanked.
If they pick her, its loser + loser vs Trump.
Game over.
