New Poll Reveals Double Digit Difference Between Sanders and Biden
Townhall.com ^ | April 30, 2019 | Leah Barkoukis

Joe Biden has emerged as the frontrunner among Democrats, who overwhelmingly support the former vice president more than Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

According to a new CNN/SRSS poll released Tuesday morning, 39 percent of Democrats surveyed favor Biden while Sanders drew support of 15 percent of Democrats—a 24-point difference.

Biden and Sanders are the only two Democratic candidates whose support was in the double digits, the poll showed.

The next candidates to pull in the strongest numbers were Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 8 percent and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 7 percent. Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke had 6 percent support, followed by Sen. Kamala Harris at 5 percent. According to CNN, the other 17 Democratic candidates surveyed only received 2 percent support or less.

Biden's lead extends across most every major demographic or political group, though it shrinks some among younger voters (31% Biden to 19% Sanders among those under age 45), liberals (32% Biden to 19% Sanders) and whites (29% Biden to 15% Sanders among white voters).

Still, only about a third of potential Democratic voters with a preference in the race (36%) say they will definitely back the candidate they currently support, 64% say they could still change their minds. Those who say they are locked in are more apt to back Biden: 50% in that group support him, 21% Sanders, 8% Warren.

Biden and Buttigieg were the only candidates to show significant gains from CNN's March survey, with the former receiving an 11-point surge in support and the latter posting a 6 percent increase.

The survey was conducted between April 25-28 and has a margin of error for Democratic-leaning voters of 5.9 percentage points.

Should probably know better, I guess, but I’m still baffled that even the drooling moron left could support a lump of dog crap like Creepy Joe.

I think he would be a tough candidate, with the heavy lifting of the liberal media who will cover up his gaffs, scandals, gropes, and terrible legislation record on working families.

The problem is, none of the Democrats wants to attack the other because they figure they’ll just be giving ammo to Trump & the Republicans, and nobody wants to do that ...

so IF that continues, then the current standings will be locked in ... Biden will be the Democrat nominee, all the others are just wasting their time and money ...

UNLESS someone goes dirty-tricks ... these ARE the Democrats, after all ...

In a head to head to debate Bernie would beat Biden. Joe has no energy. He is the Jebito of the Democratic Party. The man is down right boring.

The real test will be the debates and the early primary schedule. South Carolina will be a good indicator for Biden, Bernie, and Harris. In 2016 65% of the SC Dem voters were black. Hillary won 85% of the non-white vote. Bernie could only win 15%. How will blacks vote re Biden and Harris? Hillary won 54% of the white vote in SC.

Debate schedule:

1A June 26, 2019 TBD Miami NBC News, MSNBC, Telemundo TBD

1B June 27, 2019 TBD Miami NBC News, MSNBC, Telemundo TBD

2A July 30, 2019 TBD Detroit CNN2] TBD

2B July 31, 2019 TBD Detroit CNN

Early Primary Schedule

February 3: Iowa caucus

February 11: New Hampshire primary

February 22: Nevada caucus

February 29: South Carolina primary

March 3: Super Tuesday (Alabama, Arkansas, California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia primaries; Democrats Abroad preference vote through March 10)

Whether the poll is fake or not, Bernie isn’t getting the nod for the Dem’s. He might get so angry that he’ll try to go 3rd party, taking the liberal-hipster-socialist vote with him, thus splitting the party. But I doubt even that would happen because the Dem’s and media will destroy him or he’ll be found in Ft Marcy Park. They’ll do what they can for Ol’ Joe because they know he’s an idiot and can be controlled. The others, not so much.

But, I’m still convinced that their primary is going to be a bloodbath and she’ll ride in, on a hag white horse, to try and save the day. For she thinks it’s her birthright to be in the Oval Office as President. And she has a lot, a lot, a lot of IOUs to repay.

When you don't know where you are going, no turn is the wrong turn.

Could be worse, I guess. He could be a republican.

“When you don’t know where you are going, no turn is the wrong turn.”

That is thought-provoking. It goes a long way toward explaining some of the stupider things the leftwads do.

My alternative thought (which others have also expressed on this forum)

Joe will be used to eliminate the rest of the field, then suddenly he will be eliminated and Hillary will jump in to save the party and country.

In a (FAIR) head to head to debate Bernie would beat Biden.

Do you think the MSM will allow it to be fair ?
