Looking for a winner, Democrats keep Biden and Sanders on top: Reuters/Ipsos poll

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders remain the top candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination as potential voters appear increasingly interested in picking a winner this year instead of someone who shares their interests, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday.

8. Thanks for the link. Interesting, that one was released on Thursday and the B- poll shows....

....Sanders at 20 and Biden at 19.

But yesterday a SurveyUSA (A rated) poll was released and shows Biden at 32%, Sanders at 21%, Warren 14%, and Buttigieg/Bloomberg at 9% each.

I'm more inclinded believe an A poll than a B- poll.

13. The Ipsos poll looks like a significant outlier.

The next closest poll from the entire month has Biden +6.

I wouldn't put too much faith in that poll were I a Sanders supporter.

Outlier poll that showed GOP lead in the race for Congress abruptly shifts back to the Democrats (MAY 27, 2018)

"A poll that helps survey the generic Congressional ballot no longer shows a dramatic lead for the GOP, a drastic shift that will crush conservatives looking for evidence of a feeble blue wave this upcoming November.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll indicated last week that Republicans attained a five-point lead in the ballot, a seismic bump considering Democrats had a plus-three margin in the previous two polls. Right-wing pundits were absolutely giddy over the turn of events, as they shared the new poll on social media to their then-disheartened audience.




That same poll Hannity was referencing released new numbers on Sunday. It now conveys a seven-point lead for Democrats."

538:

"Conversely, Ipsos has consistently shown some of the worst results for Biden, so it doesn’t necessarily move the needle in our model when another Ipsos poll comes out showing Biden doing mediocrely."

There is somebody else who drones on and on about one poll when they are on top and then ignores every other poll that shows them down, saying they are fake.

Who is that? I just can't remember who that is.

primary today, I would vote for:
