Oprah Winfrey is less popular among Democrats than Joe Biden, a new poll looking ahead to the 2020 election reveals.

And the TV star – whose speech at the Golden Globes led to fevered speculation she would run for president – would be beaten by both Biden and Bernie Sanders in a four-way Democratic primary that also included Elizabeth Warren, the RABA Research survey says.

In the poll of 345 registered Democrats about the 2020 election, the former vice-president was better liked than any of his most prominent potential competitors. RABA interviewed the Democratic voters between 10 and 11 January via an online survey. The margin of error was five points.

Some 76% of Democratic voters had a somewhat favorable or very favorable opinion of the former vice-president. In contrast, only 67% of Democratic voters felt the same about Winfrey, leaving her even with the leftwing former Democratic hopeful Sanders and ahead of Massachusetts senator Warren, whom only 58% of Democratic voters had a very favorable or somewhat favorable opinion of.

When the four were polled against each other, Biden was the most popular, winning 26% of the vote in a four-way race. Sanders was at 21%, Winfrey at 20% and Warren at 18%.

1. well, I LOVE Joe. Timing is not great for him, though

Winfrey is a very accomplished woman and if she could leapfrog from where she is now to a six year Senate stint where she showed leadership in that context, (much as Obama did), then I think she might well be a great candidate.

But, given where we are going to be, after Trump's destructive term, I think we need someone with the experience and acumen of a Biden or Warren.

2. Obama was a legal scholar

And served in government for seven years before he even became a senator.

I like Oprah as a person, but she’d have to be one heck of a senator before I’d vote for her in a presidential primary.

3. Yes, that's true. I merely stated that he had had a single six year US Senate term before

launching his bid. Quite frankly, had Al Franken not been destroyed by the recent debacle, he'd showed that a single Senate term more than prepared him for a run, had things been different. Similarly, while Obama had (obviously) far more relevant credentials than that, that six year term was able to show all that he was ready
