The first and most recent is just a poll done in Texas. That one O'Rourke ties Trump. Biden beats Trump. There's also a Rasmussen poll which is pretty much discredited as a biased poll. I personally have not selected my candidate, although have 3 I favor. Going to wait until after the first debates.

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

If the criteria is "whoever can beat Trump" then I guess we gotta go with the Texan. rgbecker May 2019 #3

Defeating Trump is a moral imperative. Everything else is subsidiary. DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #5

+1 Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #83

Based on Beto's New Climate Plan he's proven he has policy chops Indygram May 2019 #14

That's as stupid as Bernie saying we want candidates just because of gender or race. MrsCoffee May 2019 #20

Bernie really said that? I agree, based on a million Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #84

He did indeed. MrsCoffee May 2019 #93

Exactly. Obama had great policies. How much did that help NYC Liberal May 2019 #69

And, really, are not the way our Republic should do government imo. Amimnoch May 2019 #70

Agree. It always seemed kind of crazy for a candidate Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #85

AFAIK, none of the polls so far break things down by electoral college votes. spooky3 May 2019 #4

I know the Electoral College is an impediment DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #6

I doubt that any of the candidates will be shown in any poll that we can rely on, spooky3 May 2019 #10

Matchups matter in WI MI WI NV NC FL TX & AZ. Last Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #89

And Beto is just warming up .... NYMinute May 2019 #7

These results seem to have come out of nowhere. DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #8

I don't know how accurate the poll is but while Beto has not been in national JI7 May 2019 #12

Thought so too then got "corrected" by someone Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #86

He's been to more than early primary states, here is where he has been since 3/14 Indygram May 2019 #96

That's amazing. That list of events doesn't show Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #97

He's had people out canvassing for several weeks already Indygram May 2019 #99

Fantastic. If it's him or if he's Biden's VP. Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #100

I'd agree that he's just warming up mtnsnake May 2019 #54

even without polls, Beto has the best response from people JI7 May 2019 #11

Instead of going on TV doing interviews, Beto has been doing this... Indygram May 2019 #15

Still waiting for Beto snowybirdie May 2019 #16

I've posted many videos and live stream links Indygram May 2019 #17

Don't get what the fascination is with Beto based on his "Texas politics"... InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #103

He's actually a lot more progressive than he gets credit for....however Indygram May 2019 #107

Okay, don't know how I missed that... I'll have to look more into his position statements. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #112

That's a great poll for O'Rourke peggysue2 May 2019 #18

I have an open mind. DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #21

Absolutely agree! peggysue2 May 2019 #24

He has to do well in Iowa. DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #26

I believe he will Indygram May 2019 #29

Yes, but first he has to do well . . . peggysue2 May 2019 #31

He's answered well over 600 questions on every issue imaginable in under 2 months Indygram May 2019 #38

Wow...these matchups are horrible. Emerson seeing nothing Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #90

No. I don't think he wins the primary nor the general, Demsrule86 May 2019 #25

Winning Texas in the GE is enough isn't it? crazytown May 2019 #27

He lost a statewide race in 18. And adding Texas to 2016 gives us 270 electoral Demsrule86 May 2019 #32

But he could win Texas couldn't he? crazytown May 2019 #36

He lost in 18 so no I would not risk it. He could be Biden's running mate Demsrule86 May 2019 #41

Beto forces Trump to have to fight for Texas Indygram May 2019 #47

Biden is ahead in Texas so is Sanders within the margin of error. So they Demsrule86 May 2019 #53

Biden doesn't have an established massive grassroots organization already canvassing in Texas... Indygram May 2019 #58

Beto didn't win Texas. Perhaps as a VP that could be useful too without Demsrule86 May 2019 #59

Biden lost two prior primary races Indygram May 2019 #61

Ah, people win and lose primaries. Beto lost a state in 18 you assure me he can win Demsrule86 May 2019 #67

Biden can't increase youth voter turnout by 500% Indygram May 2019 #71

He would lose the rustbelt and has advanced policies that won't attract moderate voters. Demsrule86 May 2019 #34

And your proof for that is? crazytown May 2019 #37

It is an opinion as we have discussed before. Demsrule86 May 2019 #40

And as I've said to you before crazytown May 2019 #42

I picked Biden because of my analysis. I like all of our candidates but two. Demsrule86 May 2019 #43

Your posts get on my nerves sometimes crazytown May 2019 #46

Sorry. I will vote for whomever the nominee is. But based on my calculations Biden has Demsrule86 May 2019 #50

He lost in 18. And I won't put all my eggs in the Texas basket. Demsrule86 May 2019 #45

He also got more votes than any other Democrat in Texas history... Indygram May 2019 #51

I'm a moderate Independent and Beto inspires me unlike any politician ever has before Indygram May 2019 #48

Where are you from? If I may ask. My rustbelt neighbors don't feel that way. Demsrule86 May 2019 #52

I live in a bright red county in a battleground state Indygram May 2019 #56

But not the rustbelt correct? Demsrule86 May 2019 #65

Not currently, but I HAVE lived in the rustbelt in PA. Indygram May 2019 #66

I live here now and Beto will not win. Joe was born in Pennsylvania. Demsrule86 May 2019 #68

Yes, he absolutely can win because he will show up and listen Indygram May 2019 #73

I just don't agree. Demsrule86 May 2019 #74

If Beto we're to win nom, could he beat trump in PA? Laura PourMeADrink May 2019 #87

Ultimately I don't think Biden will be the nominee Indygram May 2019 #98

This is how he wins the rustbelt... Indygram May 2019 #63

Thanks for letting me know...video is in article in this link Indygram May 2019 #72

I don't have much reason to think he can win Texas. ooky May 2019 #101

National races are a bit different than local races Indygram May 2019 #111

Beto could win the primary...but, not sure that he gives us the BEST chance of defeating Chump. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #104

I like Beto a lot. I think this poll is an outlier. redstateblues May 2019 #28

:) Way too early, but I'm glad to see him talked about again. Hortensis May 2019 #30

Why don't you think he can win? Indygram May 2019 #76

Hello, Indygram... TomJulie May 2019 #78

Beto has a lot of potential but he has to be at least as tough as Biden to be able to beat Trump andym May 2019 #77

I would love to see Beto get a crack at Trump over family separation Indygram May 2019 #80

My Thoughts As Well. TomJulie May 2019 #82

His brand is the antithesis of Trump--smart, compassionate, young, energetic. McCamy Taylor May 2019 #88

That's a big, big deal. nt coti May 2019 #91

The polls that show match-ups state by state, is what I find most revealing... Skya Rhen May 2019 #92

That his approval ratings are above 40% in anything makes me sick.. mountain grammy May 2019 #94

A 1-2% difference 18 months before the election is noise... brooklynite May 2019 #106

According to CNN it's a ten point difference. DemocratSinceBirth May 2019 #108

Unless I'm reading that poll wrong that's with voters age 50 and over, too Indygram May 2019 #109

I mean among the other Democratic candidates. brooklynite May 2019 #110
