(146,288 posts)I'm not surprised at these results at all. And yes, I understand that the poll includes people who did not watch the debate. That always happens, and is based on media reports about the debate, including clips from the debate broadcast on network news.
If Joe Biden enters the race, he'll jump a few points, but won't take over first place in polling. What will happen is that Bernie Sanders will slip into third place in national polling. That's not a good position for him, going forward.
