Warren places third in 2020 Massachusetts poll

[left-of-center2012]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Sunday placed third in a 2020 presidential poll of her home state of Massachusetts, trailing behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Vice President Joe Biden.

In a poll of likely Democratic primary voters in the state, 14 percent picked Warren as their preferred Democratic nominee for president.
Sanders leads the field with 26 percent of support, followed closely by Biden, who had the support of 23 percent of likely Massachusetts voters.

According to Spencer Kimball, Director of Emerson Polling, her third place finish “is a concern for Warren who at this time does not have a firewall in her home state, and her rival Sanders has a strong base in the Bay State.”

Warren has consistently placed behind both Biden and Sanders in both early state and national polls of the 2020 presidential race.

1. This is really not surprising.

She isn't a shoo-in in her home state.

2. Disappointing to say the least... thought Elizabeth would have Massachusetts in the bag.

Not surprised by Bernie's excellent showing though.

9. The Question Needs to Be Asked, How Statistically Significant Was the Polling Sample?

There are polls and then there are polls...

10. from the last paragraph at the link

Emerson polled 371 likely Democratic primary voters in the state between April 4 and April 7. The margin of error for the sample is 5 percentage points.

12. Considering the Margin for Error for All Three...

What were the demographics of those responding to the poll? This poll could say a lot or nothing...

6. She still has time to turn this around

She's a strong candidate and has been an excellent senator. She now needs to convince that electorate that she can take Trump and all his ugly enablers to the woodshed.

8. It could be worse

when O"Malley was running in 2016 he was around 3% in Maryland despite having been governor for 8 years. But, that said, Warren can't be happy about that result.
