Biden below 20?

Warren 9 and Buttigieg 6?

Only Sanders is remotely OK.

What is wrong with this poll anyway??? It is rated B- by 538. It's a D in my book, but we have to live with it.

At the bottom of the Reuters article is a link t their pdf withthe poll results.

1. While you don't have a link, I suspect there are a lot of undecideds

3. Yeah, you are right. I modified my title. Undecided 31%. Here is the Reuters link.

The poll, conducted on Wednesday and Thursday, found the level of indecision has jumped among of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents after an already wide slate of candidates underwent a considerable amount of recent turnover ahead of the November 2020 election.

The latest poll found that support declined for all of the top candidates, including Warren, when compared with a similar poll that ran on Nov. 20-22.

Meantime, 31% of Democrats and independents said they “don’t know” which candidate to support. That is the highest level of indecision measured in Reuters/Ipsos poll dating back to mid-April.

4. I found it hard to believe that there are so many who said "I don't Know"

--attributed by Reuters to the changes in the field with the dropouts and newbies.

I added links above.

5. I know why

Many voters like our candidates but are not passionate about them. Let's face it, our front runners are old, Washington insiders. Good peeps but a lot of us, especially under 45, were looking for a Bill Clinton or Obama figure to take on Trump. The generational contrast would have been startling and soooooo damn inspiring. I just think, a lot of voters are ho-hum at momemt.

8. poll question: 'new face/new ideas'. top 2 Pete 21%, Bernie 20%

I'm not sure age itself has to do with undecideds under 45. Bernie's support has the highest sticky support of all the candidates, and also the highest support for under 45.
I am saddened that Bernie polls best for all issues, except job creation, where he polls 1% behind Biden, yet is still seen as only the second choice to beat Trump (behind Biden).
Last week a poll came out that 81% of all Americans support MFA. Most support some form of wealth tax.
In National Polls, RCP has Bernie beating Trump by 8.5%, Biden at 9.9%, yet this poll, and many others, show perception is that Biden is overwhelmingly the best choice to beat Trump. You would suspect that the numbers between these 2 front runners would be closer than Biden 37 and Sanders 17.
Perhaps it just underscores the fear of a Trump victory holds. Its hard to listen to the media constantly tell us that the AA community acts as a block, and as a block, has decided Biden is the best chance.
But let's be clear, he's not the only choice. As the under 45 crowd acknowledges.
