President Trump trails former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and three Democratic senators in a new poll from a Democratic firm testing possible 2020 matchups.

The survey of registered voters, conducted by Public Policy Polling, found Trump trailing by wide margins against Sanders — 52 percent to 39 percent — and Biden — 54 percent to 39 percent.

The poll also found Trump losing in hypothetical matchups against Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), although by smaller margins.

Trump trails Warren by 7 points, 42 percent to 49 percent; Booker by 5 points, 40 percent to 45 percent; and Harris by 1 point, 40 percent to 41 percent. ....

1. Interesting that Bernie and Joe are just about tied.

Of course way too early for anything to be meaningful, but shows Trump is vulnerable.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

2. Another month...

...and he will trail Elliot, my cat. Come to think of it, Elliot is smart, loving, compassionate, and VERY good-looking. Perfect Democratic candidate

[SharonClark]

5. Sounds like a winner :)

[emulatorloo]

7. Elliot and my dog, 2020!

She's very cat friendly, they'd make a great team

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

10. As long as she understands...

...that Elliot is a cat. He would have to have top billing because of his catness , not his maleness. He loves and respects women

[Mickju]

25. Elliot for President!

He couldn't do any worse than what we have now.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Doesn't matter. Russia will have Trump win again.

[LakeArenal]

15. Well, let's just close up DU and give up the fight then. nt

[Dopers_Greed]

4. Trump also would have lost in a hypothetical match-up against Clinton

Let's see how well these challengers poll after months of Wikileaks dumps and Russian social media campaigns.

[regnaD kciN]

9. Actually, that article points out HRC has a higher disapproval rating than even Drumpf...

[SunSeeker]

22. What part of "Wikileaks dumps and Russian social media campaigns" did you not understand?

Which of the candidates in this poll were subject to such a massive, international smear campaign other than Hillary?

God, we really are fucked if even people on DU don't get this. Putin won.

[nikibatts]

34. I think Hillary is more disliked here than anywhere else in mixed company.

17. Bloomberg: "Finally, a Poll Trump Will Like: Clinton Is Even More Unpopular"

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-18/finally-a-poll-trump-will-like-clinton-even-more-unpopular

[nikibatts]

33. I really do not think she is more unpopular. People know she isn't a likely candidate.

[BeyondGeography]

35. The Dems who are pushing her negatives up in that poll

would still vote for her over Trump. She is a lightning rod for frustration right now.

IOW, I agree with you.

[nietzschean]

6. unfortunately,

the problem is Warren, Booker or Sanders will not have the help of the Russian government and from voting supression efforts.

[calimary]

20. Welcome to DU, nietzschean!

I'd lean toward Biden or Harris - depending on how Kamala grows and builds. So far, so good. Biden is beloved, warts 'n' all.

But it's WAY too soon. WAY too soon! Cory Booker's interesting, but he's had a way-too-close-to-Wall-Street problem. NO to Warren and Sanders for my own personal reasons.

But it's a LONG time til 2020. A lot can happen and a lot can change between now and then.

[Mike Nelson]

8. Odd...

...always remember that "registered voters" includes Republicans who would not vote for any of them. I don't think Sanders or Biden could win the nomination... I do see Warren as strongest, but it's way too early.

[David__77]

11. I'd be OK with Biden.

I'd also be OK with Harris or Warren, based on my limited information. I don't know much about Booker. I think that Sanders should pass, as he didn't display sufficient determination to win last time.

[mopinko]

12. fuck this distracting shit.

keep your eyes on the prize.

[progressoid]

14. Right. 2018 Senate and House.

[Tiggeroshii]

13. I think I might be getting behind Biden for this one.

Depending on what kinda game Kamala brings with her, she could be my candidate. Obviously it is way too early to know for sure.

[WheelWalker]

16. I'm with Biden. I think he's our best present choice for recovery of shared purpose and

restoration of national unity.

[Tiggeroshii]

23. Also, and most importantly

THE MEMES!!

[LudwigPastorius]

18. Yeah, but those are pre-Putin numbers.

Russia is going to fuck us again in 2020 (and 2018), and that traitor Trump is facilitating them.

[colsohlibgal]

19. If Not Warren I Would Go For Harris

I was a Bernie gal but he would just be too old in 2020, as would Biden. We need new young, energetic, progressive leaders....I know Warren is not young but she is not where Biden and Bernie will be in 2020.

Also....we need to walk and chew gum at the same time, we need to pour time, energy, and money on state and local races, we need to expose CrossCheck and the other right wing voting hanky panky including voting machines. We need to keep going after gerrymandering.

[malchickiwick]

21. 2018 still comes before 2020...right?

Just checkin'

[C Moon]

24. He also trailed Hillary. But Russia fixed that for him.

[DFW]

26. Trump would probably trail my German Shepherd at this point

And I don't even have a dog.

[SkatmanRoth]

27. President Sanders - it has a nice ring to it

[TooStrong]

30. Yes. It does.

[SkatmanRoth]

36. Welcome to DU TooStrong!

[OldHippieChick]

28. I'm an old fart myself, but I cannot agree that any of these oldsters should be our

candidate in 2020. Mark my words, we are slower, weaker and way too tired to put up w/ what a President needs to tolerate. Trump s Exhibit #1 and I would hate for Biden, Warren, etc. to become Exhibit #2. We need to find younger and more vibrant people. It is time for boomers to give it up. Let's face it, we're not all Jimmy Carter!!!

[rzemanfl]

31. +1 from another boomer. n/t

[flying-skeleton]

29. That's because ....

That's because, he hasn't started on his insulting tour yet.

[BlueStater]

32. Why are these the hypothetical choices?

Biden and Sanders are not relevant candidates anymore. They'll be pushing 80 by the next election, for fucks sake. And Warren is no spring chicken either.

[Doug the Dem]

37. It'd be Close, but I think This Guy would squeak out a win against Donnie
