I do like V.P. Biden a lot.

Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a sampling error of +/-8.5 percentage points or less once adjusted for design effect. Some subgroups represent too small a share of the national population to produce crosstabs with an acceptable sampling error. Interviews were conducted among these subgroups, but results for groups with a design-effect adjusted sampling error larger than +/-8.5 percentage points are not displayed and instead are denoted with "N/A".

I prefer Sanders, Warren, Harris, Booker, Klobuchar or even Filling and.

I'd be surprised if Kerry or O'Rourke runs I can get behind either one.

Then again, I’d vote for a cockroach over Trump lol. I’m thinking I’ll support, in the primaries, Harris or O’Rourke if either chooses to run. I like Sanders voting record and energy but wish he stayed an official Democrat. I don’t like the “independent” thing.

He's a blue collar working guy, not from the coasts, and is totally loyal and a fighter. I love Joe! I will vote for anything or anyone running against drumpf. Heck I'd vote for one of my cats' fleas and I kill them on sight. However, they have more humanity than drumpf and wouldn't be as dangerous as he is.

at how low some of these people polled percentage-wise, especially Avenatti. With how often he has been on TV for months, you'd think he'd be the one in first place. Also I'm relieved that Bloomberg only has 4%; I'm not a fan of the soda tax he pushed in his home city and here in the Bay Area, and let's not forget stop-and-frisk.

But right now, this poll is about whose a "household name"

These polls won't matter until we get closer to the Iowa Caucus. This is nothing but name recognition.

Though I will say, I'd be happy with almost everyone on this list.
