Former Vice President Joe Biden is the top choice for Democratic voters in the early voting state of New Hampshire who were contacted for a poll released Wednesday.
Biden was the top choice for 28 percent of likely Democratic primary voters surveyed in the University of Massachusetts Amherst poll, despite him not having declared a 2020 presidential bid.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who announced his presidential run on Tuesday, followed with support from 20 percent of Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning independents. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) placed third with support from 14 percent of those likely to vote in the Democratic primary.
The top reason voters in the poll gave for why they would select a particular candidate was that they perceived the candidate would have the best chance of defeating President Trump.
