If you want to provide data, or at least a summary, I'll comment. I'm not interested in watching a video of someone else's opinion.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Fresh off the presses...

Iowa 2020: Warren's Support Drops While Sanders Rises

WHDH 7 News/Emerson College Iowa Poll

Sanders effectively tied for first place. More importantly, on the question everyone seems to love to deny, the existence of a Sanders Surge, these numbers represent a spike of 9% in two months' time for Bernie.


Lest you accuse me of cherry picking, here's what CNN just reported about California (click through to see the fine print)...



Let's not forget this December 11 article which links to MULTIPLE polls showing that Voters Earning Under $75,000/Year Overwhelmingly Favor Sanders.

Sanders is doing better overall, and the top
four do include Buttigieg as well.

I think Biden is the frontrunner, but the race
is definitely closing.

Warren is doing well also.

primary today, I would vote for:

16. Why do Sanders think that "more candidates" is an explanation?
Thu Dec 12, 2019, 02:41 PM
Dec 2019

What it suggests is that Sanders would have been LESS popular in 2016, but Hillary was the only other choice.

BECAUSE there are other choices, including progressive one, Sanders is a less popular option and therefore less likely to win.

primary today, I would vote for:

As Warren loses traction, Sanders is the logical second choice for those who like their shared opinions and platform positions.

The truth is, Bernie's hold on younger voters is OVERWHELMING... if Democrats, through Bernie, tap into that politically dominent force, Dolt45 doesn't stand a chance!!
