Former Vice President Joseph Biden reverses his slump following the first Democratic presidential debate and now leads the pack with 34 percent of Democrats and independent voters who lean Democratic, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has 15 percent, with 12 percent for California Sen. Kamala Harris and 11 percent for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

This compares to results of a July 2 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe- ack) University National Poll, showing Biden with 22 percent, Harris with 20 percent, Warren with 14 percent and Sanders with 13 percent.

In today's results:
- Biden gets 53 percent of black Democrats, with 8 percent for Sanders, 7 percent for Harris and 4 percent for Warren;
- Women Democrats go 34 percent for Biden, 15 percent for Warren, 14 percent for Harris and 10 percent for Sanders;
- Very liberal Democrats go 29 percent for Warren, 25 percent for Biden, 15 percent for Sanders and 12 percent for Harris;
- Somewhat liberal Democrats go 34 percent for Biden, 16 percent for Sanders, 14 percent for Warren and 10 percent for Harris;
- Moderate/conservative Democrats go 39 percent for Biden, 12 percent for Harris, 9 percent for Warren and 8 percent for Sanders.

Rounding out the Democratic field are South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 6 percent, and former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke and entrepreneur Andrew Yang with 2 percent each. There are four candidates with 1 percent each and 14 candidates at less than 1 percent each.

1. Great news! Thanks, brooklynite!

2. At this point in time it really looks like Sanders is not going beyond his

base, but losing support within that base to other Democrats

3. Indeed!

4. Looks like Biden picked up all the support he lost to Harris, and then some. That's a very...

dramatic drop for her. I can't think of anything that shifted the race so much between the last poll and this one, but something had to happen that I'm not aware of.

11. Smerconish was just on Cuomo Live and he came up with a theory: Trump's racist tweets over the last

few weeks, reminded voters of what is at stake and coalesced around Biden - the one that they strongly feel can get rid of Trump...

12. That makes sense.

13. Yes.

This.

5. KICK for Biden!

6. Now she has to top that last performance.

What will she dramatically blame Biden for next? A bad grade in Montessori school?

7. Can't wait for the t-shirt!

8. I'm holding out for the tote-bag.

Or the fragrance!

9. Good..She probably has another stunt planned...or maybe

Booker will go after him this time. I hope Biden is prepared this time.

10. Biden will dazzle 'em on debate night. He has policy proposals

for America's future. I hope his rivals can offer more than a tired ass trip down memory lane.

14. I am glad she was not rewarded for that tactic

I hope no one is if they do it.
