1. Very complete and interesting as well. n/t

[Cha]

2. Thank You.. in spite of the M$M

and others trying to take down Joe Biden!

Impressive the storms he's weathering!

[George II]

3. 19 + 13 does not equal 38!!!

[question everything]

4. How many times are you going to post this?

We get it, you don't like Biden, Many here do not like your insulting comment which, really breaks the rules here

[Celerity]

6. what did the OP say bad about Biden?

The poll shows Biden crushing it.



also some good news for Klobuchar

[question everything]

33. Calling him "Teflon"

[honest.abe]

26. This poster is pro-Joe Biden.

I assume you are referring to the "teflon" name he assigned to Joe. I think its just a bit of fun he is having with posting Joe's polls which seem to be rock solid stable around 35-40%. If you recall Bill Clinton was often called the "teflon candidate" back in the 90's and it wasnt meant in any negative way at all. He was so good that no negative attacks stuck to him. Biden is similar in that he is simply seen as the best candidate and nothing that has said or done has affected that.. so far.

5. If this poll has any significance, which it probably doesn't, it could spell bad news for Joe

The fact that 62% of the people polled are choosing someone other than Biden as their current favorite pick is not a good sign for someone who is being anointed as the winner a year in advance.

Call me superstitious, but polls this early on are almost always a huge jinx on the front runner. For that matter, all that any early polls are good for is that they advertise who the top candidates are, which in turn causes many people being polled to say, "Hey, I think I'll also pick the front runner for now since I don't know who most of the other candidates are." The more that people see the polls, the more that they'll use the polls for guidance, rather than using their heads and getting to know the other candidates who have less name recognition, thanks to the polls themselves. It's like one big loop. lol

7. The fact that.

The fact that 81% of the people polled are choosing someone other than Bernie as their current favorite pick is not a good sign for someone who won 43% of the vote the last time around, am I right?

[mtnsnake]

9. Yup, definitely bad news for Sanders as well. Even worse.

Bernie's magic is wearing off. It might be time for him to consider stepping aside. I do like his politics, but I don't think he has it this time.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Regardless of the polls I believe Kamala, Cory, and Beto have a real shot.

I like Joe but have concerns about his candidacy and it has nothing to do with his positions. I'll leave it at that. Not too hard to infer what I'm thinking.


Kamala, Cory, and Beto have a real shot..

[Green Line]

16. No they don't

This election is about winning 3 states, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. The blue states are going to vote blue no matter who. I only see one person who can win those states and that’s Joe Biden. I don’t care what he said or did 30 years ago or 30 Minutes ago, the only thing this election is about is beating Trumpence.

[mtnsnake]

23. The notion that Biden is the only person who can win back those 3 states is ridiculous

He is one of the Democrats who might be able to win them back, but he is far from the only Democrat who can do that.

[Demsrule86]

27. No he is the only one who can win those three states...as exciting as you find other candidates...

and the desire to 'turn the page'...fresh etc. etc. etc... It simple is not the right time to do so...Biden can beat Trump...or he has the best chance for sure. None of the others in my opinion will win a general. Sure I vote for whoever is the nominee...but I want to win.

[Demsrule86]

25. I don't think so...and by attacking Biden. They made it more difficult for themselves.

I predict they will be out by the super Tuesday.

[Celerity]

8. dig deeper, he is huge on the second choice list

10. Hey, if his numbers stay up there throughout the summer and early Fall, I'll eat my crow.

[Blue_true]

12. Crow taste a lot better with mustard than catsup.

Take it from me.

[mtnsnake]

13. haha, thanks for the advice

I'll remember to reach for the mustard when the time comes.

[crazytown]

17. May I suggest a full measure of Chianti for crow

in the traditional fiasco bottle

[mtnsnake]

22. Sure, but how am I supposed to get the crow to drink it?

[crazytown]

31. At a wine tasting of course!

If VP Biden clinches the nomination, you might want to stay all day

[Celerity]

14. I think it is too early to say what will happen, and I did not want to give the impression I think

Biden's nomination is a fait accompli.

Far from it.

[emmaverybo]

18. You can hope, can't you? NT

[Demsrule86]

24. That is just not true...he is significantly ahead of other candidates and this is not a good poll

for Warren...still in third...no upward mobility. And the early states part of the poll shows an increase of 3% for Biden...43% ...a significant number. I said yesterday, I thought this would not work.

[honest.abe]

28. If its bad news for Joe.. its horrible news for the other candidates.

By your logic the other candidates have a much much higher percent of voters wanting someone else and even more unlikely to win.

Biden is in a great position right now. I dont see how any of the other candidates can close this gap. Perhaps, if he makes some huge gaffe at the debates then someone else might have a fighting chance... but I doubt that will happen.

[Bhkylib]

15. I told you all that Joe's numbers wouldn't budge due to his 'gaffe'

For better or for worse, Trump had de-sensitized the public to gaffes and outrageous statements that might've sinked politicians before. Whereas Trump is just a blowhard, Joe Biden speaks from his heart. He's not a poll tested, focus group candidate. He is not there to just give applause lines and go home. He's authentic and genuine to his core. He's an old throwback, back slapping politicians that everyone could drink a beer with. So people are more forgiving for his misstatements as they know his heart is good.

[Skya Rhen]

19. Cory gained no traction after his vicious ploy. Still at 3% - what a pathetic individual...

[oasis]

20. Cory brought this misfortune on himself. No shot at VP.

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. Very keen observation.

[TCJ70]

29. Can we stop with the stupid nicknames? n/t

[mtnsnake]

30. + 1000

[Peacetrain]

32. HOT DOG!!! this starts my day out right
