Inslee polling behind 'someone else' but raises $2.25 million

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A recent Emerson poll shows Washington Gov. Jay Inslee still polling at zero percent for the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, putting him behind the 2 percent of respondents who voiced their support for “someone else.”

Despite the low poll numbers, the Inslee campaign is boasting that its fundraising effort is outpacing other Democratic presidential hopefuls, taking in $2.25 million in its first month.

The poll has Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders as the early front runner at 29 percent, followed by Joe Biden at 24 percent. Polling in third at 9 percent is South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg previously polled at zero percent as recently as mid-February.

The Emerson poll arrives on the heels of a week-long media blitz, where the Washington governor participated in a CNN town hall, spoke at Columbia University’s Global Energy Summit in New York, and appeared on both MSNBC and CBS. He previously appeared on The Daily Show.

1. I really like Inslee, if he doesn't get the nomination, he should be climate czar!

2. Dang, how much has "someone else" raised?

3. Since Inslee's running on "climate change", any weather irregularities

during the coming months will fall under his bailiwick. He can rely on Mother Nature to give a boost to his numbers.

"Someone Else" may be out-polling the Governor at present, but "No One Else" in the Democratic lineup has a better grasp on the issue of climate change.
