March NBC / Wall Street Journal Survey

They call it a survey, not a poll. Interesting results regarding enthusiastic and comfortable vs. some reservations and very uncomfortable:

trump 40 - 59 (-19)
Biden 47 - 48 (-1)
Sanders 37 - 58 (-21)
Harris 25 - 41 (-16)
Warren 30 - 53 (-23)
O'Rourke 23 - 41 (-18)

Among Democratic candidates:

Biden 73 - 25 (+48)
Sanders 64 - 36 (+28)
Harris 52 - 27 (+25)
Warren 57 - 33 (+24)
O'Rourke 48 - 29 (+19)

Kamala or any other Dem contender. He and his team will be laser focused on the best strategy to defeat Trump. They will be in that mode until Election Day.

thing has nothing to do with the other., Really your post doesn't make sense because of course, Biden has to get past the Dem contenders before he laser focuses on trump.

I haven't paid too much attention to which candidate made more money in a shorter period than others. That's what I thought you were referring to. If you were offended, I hope you will accept my apologies.

there have been news reports (I don't know how reliable they are) that Biden was anxious about being able to raise money to compete with the others. The thing is, the media will make a big deal of it like they're doing about the numbers just released by the others. They only care about the horse race. You know how they are.
