Joe Biden leads his closest challenger in the 2020 Democratic presidential field by 7 points in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, according to a new survey.

The poll from Franklin & Marshall College shows the former vice president with 22 percent support from Democratic voters. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) follows with 15 percent, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has 14 percent.

No other Democratic candidate registered double-digit support in Pennsylvania.

The survey, released Thursday, shows Biden's lead over his competitors diminishing in recent months. Biden held a 16-point lead in July, pollsters noted, and led by 8 percent in October.

Warren currently tops the list of voters' preferred second choices at 26 percent, with Sanders coming behind her at 18 percent.

The survey also shows that roughly 3 in 4 supporters of Sanders and Warren identify themselves as liberals, contrasted by just 4 in 10 Biden supporters.

13. It is in Biden country.

And compared to where Bernie used to be in PA.

15. And looking even better for Biden.

Just an FYI: 1st place is often a better foundation of victory than a distant and anemic 2nd... I mention as such as you seem to be dramatically unaware of that

[DanTex]

16. You're right about 1st place being better than 2nd, and Iowa polls are looking good for Bernie.

Nobody is going to win all the primaries, and PA is Biden country, and even there Bernie has closed the gap considerably.
