One snippet: there are lots of interesting others.
Biden's support has largely held and even risen in some places like in Iowa, so the movement toward Warren is not attrition from Biden, but of lower-tier candidates losing supporters who have gone to Warren or, in lesser numbers, to Sanders.
For instance, Warren has benefited most from former Kamala Harris supporters switching their allegiance. Twenty-nine percent who were backing Harris in July, whom we re-interviewed for this study, have switched to Warren. Biden picked up 15% of former Harris backers. Partly as a result, Harris has fallen behind in the delegate estimate from her position earlier this summer, when she was closer to the upper tier of contenders.
Warren is also under consideration by more Democrats (60%) than Biden is (50%) suggesting her campaign could have even more room to gain.
Biden does better than Warren in being named the first choice among those currently considering him.

(14,516 posts)I never thought Bernie would go deep in the primaries. To my mind, which is why I'm supporting her, she is more energetic, and versed in just as big of an array of issues. She's very strong on the economy, banking, fiscal and monetary policy and that's darned well what America needs right now, after three disastrous years with Trump lurching from one debacle to the next.
