Andrew Yang Creeps Behind Beto O'Rourke And Pete Buttigieg In New Poll

[TexasTowelie]

A new Emerson Polling survey reveals that despite losing support, Joe Biden extended his lead from June with 35 percent. Elsewhere, Bernie Sanders lost ground and dropped to 15 percent support, Elizabeth Warren holds a steady 15 percent, and Kamala Harris received double her support to match Warren and Sanders’ 15 percent.

Also notable is underdog Andrew Yang’s steady increase to 3 percent support, putting him right behind Beto O’Rourke’s 4 percent and Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s 5 percent. While OpenSecrets reports that both O’Rourke and Buttigieg have $2,860,000 and $403,503 of outside money helping their campaigns, respectively, Yang notably has none, which makes his climb in the polls all the more impressive.

Yang has already met the donor requirements for the third and fourth debates in September and October and now needs to earn 2 percent support in four different approved polls — of which Emerson is not included.

Although the slow rise of the long-shot candidate might seem surprising, ABC News reports that Yang was one of the earliest candidates in the 2020 presidential race. He announced his bid back in November 2017 and has made appearances on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast and The Breakfast Club radio show to boost his profile.

3. Yang da man

Yang's making good impression this time round.

America had a first African-American president, and probably a first Billionaire president (depending on tax returns). But i don't feel in 2020, we are ready for a Chinese-American. Probably a woman president, given the ascension of women to top posts around the world and then maybe a term or two later, a president from another ethnic/racial group. That's when Yang's well known already.

6. Eewww, what a weird way to put it: "creeping" behind...

Of course, the image in my mind is this:




Good for Yang, I guess, but ewww.

7. In this particular forum I try to use the exact title of the article that I'm posting.

I will convert ALL CAPS to mixed case, or provide geographical names so as to distinguish Portland, ME from Portland, OR, but I'm trying not to change the context of the headline since I sometimes don't see what others may consider obvious.

8. Oh, I know. I was referring to the actual Inquisitr headline (who are sort of known for this)

Not to you.
