SurveyUSA CALIFORNIA POLL: Biden leading other candidates by double digits
http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=bdcd277b-f00f-48eb-a393-bf59bb2a0fab14 weeks till Californians vote in the so-called Super Tuesday primary, likely Democratic primary voters statewide today can't quit Joe Biden, according to SurveyUSA's newest tracking poll, conducted exclusively for KABC-TV Los Angeles, KGTV-TV San Diego, and the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper. Though Biden's son and now suddenly a grandchild are in the news for all the wrong reasons, though Biden continues to struggle to express himself coherently, though Biden inadvertently steps on the toes of his core constituents, and though Republicans see him as a punching bag, Biden's CA poll numbers remain stable.
In 4 consecutive SurveyUSA monthly tracking polls, Biden has always led a large Democratic field by as few as 4 points, as many as 15 points, and today by 11 points, at 30%. Biden's closest CA rival today, Bernie Sanders is at 19%.
Given the chance to choose any of the Democrats still in the race, but before Michael Bloomberg is added to the mix, likely CA primary voters today appear to have second thoughts about Elizabeth Warren, who drops 5 points from October to November and now polls at 13%, still in 3rd place, just ahead of California US Senator Kamala Harris, at 10%, who is effectively tied for 4th place with Pete Buttigieg, at 9%.
Harris, who is black, is backed by 17% of African American democratic primary voters, up from a nadir of 11% black support last month, but still today with just half the black support of white frontrunner Biden; Biden is backed by 32% of black CA likely Democratic primary voters.
Among CA's significant Latino population, Biden leads his nearest challenger Sanders 2:1 and leads Warren 4:1.
80% of CA likely Democratic primary voters say they are happy with the choices they have for President. Of those who are unhappy, the 2 names that are volunteered most often are Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.
When SurveyUSA re-asks primary voters who they prefer with Michael Bloomberg and Deval Patrick added to the existing candidate list, Bloomberg finishes 8th at 3%, behind Andrew Yang (5%) and even with Cory Booker and Tom Steyer. Bloomberg siphons approximately 1 of every 9 Buttigieg voters; he does not steal materially from other candidates. Patrick finishes last, at 0%.

I hope the losers (whoever he or she or they may be) are honorable enough to accept their defeat gracefully and will bow-out whenever it's clear that he (or she) does not have the numbers needed to secure the party's nomination.
All I'm saying is that there's no need to drag things on in pursuit of a hopeless cause for reasons of vanity or revenge or any other sort of contempt for the party and its leadership (or toward the eventual winning candidate). Instead it's of the utmost importance that the losing candidate/s rally behind our party's choice BEFORE the convention. This will give their original supporters time to accept reality, they losing candidate (and his or her spouse) should set a good example.
Only a united party will be able to defeat the GOP.
