Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.06pm post the following, " A new national poll of the 2020 presidential primary shows Joe Biden maintaining a healthy lead....The poll conducted by SSRS for CNN has Joe Biden at 28%, Bernie Sanders at 20%, Kamala Harris at 12% and Beto O’Rourke at 11%. "
Lets Get Real:
There is a difference between being popular when you are not running and when you do become a candidate, HRC in 2007/08 was seen as the next Democratic nominee, and a young Senator named Barack Obama came along and changed the future for the Clintons. In 2016 HRC had a tough fight with the older Senator Sanders, and LOST the electoral college vote to Donald Trump. If nothing else she must now know how Al Gore felt in 2000. It is way too early to see who will be the final candidate standing, Biden is ahead because he is not under political attack, once he enters the race expect extreme liberals to go for his record from race to gender. Also as Beto showed in Iowa he was hard pressed to name the major achievements of the Obama Era, he got ObamaCare, had to think about Iran and stated that Obama has small victories on the international front, that will go down well with Obama and Biden. Biden also suffers from foot in mouth, he nearly entered the race early, that allowed POTUS to called him out a low IQ. There are dozens of other Biden gaffe moments, expect outside groups to air them. This is a very LONG ROAD, as this blog has stated, the debates will be interesting, 15 candidats at the last count, they will have to attack either other or it will look like a anti Trump meeting, the candidates will need to STAND OUT.
