New poll finds Biden leading Dem pack despite accusations
The Hill, Apr 8, 2019

Former Vice President Joe Biden leads the Democratic pack of contenders for the White House despite a week of accusations of improper touching and kissing from seven women, according to a new Hill-HarrisX poll released Monday.

Biden won 28 percent support in the survey, compared to 20 percent for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Biden, who has yet to formally enter the race, and Sanders were well ahead of the rest of the candidates in the poll of 660 registered voters who identified as Democrats or independents.

So funny, the two leaders of the Dem pack are two old skeezy, blatantly hypocritical white guys.

Looks good for Biden until you consider that he already has almost all of the non-socialist vote. As the socialists drop out their supporters will switch to Sanders, not Biden...

Who is "other" ...?

Aside from that, Biden and Bernie pull in more than 48%.

Joe is almost 50% ahead of Bernie, but this doesn't count where the supporters of the "even loonier" candidates are gonna go as their choices fade and drop out.

Bernie could overtake Biden and pull this out of the hat.

Other, 17.5%,

No Tulsi in the table,  I'm not for her but at least, I know what she's talking about. She seems to be all foreign policy. If I had to vote for someone, obligatory... maybe I'd vote for her and I mean, if I had to absolutely vote for someone.  Vote for a Democrat and we give your favorite charity $100,000....

Just beware: this time 12 years ago, Rudy Giuliani was a lock for the GOP nomination. It's still early.

Although I do have to laugh: for all the insistence the Democrats have regarding tokenism, their frontrunners being a white guy, a Jewish guy, a white guy who appropriated a Mexican nickname and a white woman who claimed to be a native American is quite ironic.

Throw in a short guy and an Asian and we could do a remake of Barney Miller..

The DNC will rig it for Biden and screw Bernie again.

My question exactly.  'Other' seems to be doing fairly well.

Lol...indeed.  Never under estimate the sheer hypocrisy or lunacy that comes from the left.
