Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
8/16 Pew Research poll: Biden 26%, Warren 16%, Sanders 12%, Harris 11%, Buttigieg 5%
https://www.people-press.org/2019/08/16/most-democrats-are-excited-by-several-2020-candidates-not-just-their-top-choice/A new survey finds that, in an open-ended question about their preferences for the partys presidential nomination, 26% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters name Joe Biden as their first choice, 16% name Elizabeth Warren, 12% favor Bernie Sanders, while 11% back Kamala Harris and 5% favor Buttigieg.
However, a quarter of Democrats do not express a preference for the nomination, according to the new survey by Pew Research Center, conducted July 22-Aug. 4 among 4,175 adults, including 1,757 Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters.
The survey finds wide differences among Democratic voters on whether they feel excited by several candidates or just their own top choice. About half of Sanders supporters (51%) say they are only enthusiastic about their first choice for the nomination and 45% of Biden supporters say the same.
By contrast, just 19% of those who support Warren say they are enthusiastic only about only their first choice; 80% say they feel excited about several candidates. Similarly, 78% of Harris supporters say there are several candidates they feel excited about.

(185 posts)4. Released today but 538 says polling was July 22nd - Aug 4th
So a decent part of the polling was pre-debate #2. Still good info but good to keep in mind the dates that were polled.
