Former Vice President Joe Biden's support in the latest Hill-HarrisX poll of Democratic voters has fallen below 30 percent, his lowest mark in the survey so far.
The poll, released on Monday, found that 29 percent of likely Democratic primary voters support Biden as their first choice for president, while 16 percent back Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
This marks a 4-point drop for Biden from an identical poll conducted two weeks ago and immediately following the first 2020 Democratic debates. It also represents a 17-point drop from when same poll was first conducted in May, a month after Biden formally launched his campaign bid.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) retained their spots, with Harris getting 11 percent and Warren trailing close behind at 9 percent.
South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who ranked as high as third place at one earlier poll, slipped to sixth place, garnering just 1 percent of support.
Former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke, who has been lagging in national polls over the last few months, notched up 2 points to 3 percent.
A large number of respondents, 17 percent, were undecided.
The poll can be viewed as another setback for Biden, whose campaign has been grappling with attacks on his civil rights record in recent weeks.
Harris and Biden went head-to-head last month on the second night of the first Democratic presidential debates, where she confronted him on his past comments about working with segregationists senators and his past opposition to school busing.
The California senator saw a bump in a number of polls — including the Hill’s own Hill-HarrisX survey — following the confrontation.
Yet the poll continues to show Biden with a double digit lead over Sanders, and he has more than twice the support of Harris and more than three times the support of Warren to this point.
The Hill-HarrisX poll surveyed 1,003 voters between July 12 and July 13. The sampling margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
He should go back to where he came from.
Dear God please remove the Poll Trolls from this board
I thought he could beat Trump by 30 points.
Soaring like a rock
Investigate this SOB.
Yeah..but Biden is still over 26%.
>>>South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who ranked as high as third place at one earlier poll, slipped to sixth place, garnering just 1 percent of support.<<<
I guess Peter isn’t so gay these days.
A heterosexual white man will never again be the nominee of the Democrat Party.
Yet the poll continues to show Biden with a double digit lead over Sanders, and he has more than twice the support of Harris and more than three times the support of Warren to this point.
The undecideds number will continue to rise as more former supporters of the lesser candidates digest what they saw of those candidates in the fake debates. Meanwhile, the only way Biden loses the nomination is if he dies during the campaign. Thanks yesthatjallen.
MAGA!
Amen!
I continue to think Dinobernie has large, built in advantages over all the others. I think looking at it now, Biteme was pushed in to blunt Dinobernie’s momentum so as to allow Harris to get her feet (something she apparently has trouble with).
The glide angle isn’t so bad.
But the speed? Fast approaching supersonic.
Won’t be a soft landing. Flying on dead stick right now.
Is it just me or do all the men in the picture, and I use the term loosely but only for the biological men, other than Biden whose teeth are fake so he doesn’t count, have the large front teeth of goofy teenagers or even rabbits? Look at Sanders, Bobby O and li’l Pete. Goofy teenage rabbit people, all of them. Do democrat men descend from rabbits? And is that a viable defense against attacks of slave owning ancestors? If a male rabbit identifies as a gay lesbian turtle penguin though ... I mean who knows ...
Look at the big gap AOC has between her front teeth. Is she a non male rabbit person? A wannabe thumper?
any article with a single poll is clickbait
Bidn has been below 30% in the RCP poll average for some time, though his numbers have been quite stable ever since they dropped slightly after the first debate:
