Here's another 'Power Ranking' of Dem contenders, this time from Business Insider

For what it's worth...

POWER RANKING: Here's who has the best chance of becoming the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee

... We've combined INSIDER's polling and results of Morning Consult's daily survey of the 2020 Democratic primary in order to create a power ranking of declared and potential 2020 candidates.

We upgraded former Vice President Joe Biden back to first place after he successfully recovered and bounced back from sharp criticism from Sen. Kamala Harris in the first Democratic debate, in which she knocked him over his record on racial issues and on school busing, making him appear weak on stage....

5: South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
4: Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
3: Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
2: California Sen. Kamala Harris.
1: Former Vice President and Delaware Senator Joe Biden.

Biden should have the #1 spot not because he has recovered and bounced back from Harris' KO (which he hasn't), but because Biden continues (barely) to be the front-runner at this time in the polls. But he clearly is losing ground to both Harris and Warren who, along with Sanders, really round out those who have a legitimate shot of winning the nomination at this point.

Silver has something similar at FiveThirtyEight with his tiers. I personally think the top tier should include Sanders, with Buttigieg/Booker/O'Rourke/Castro making up the second tier.
