1. What does "Harris X" mean? nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Pollster's name

It is the namesake of Lou Harris who was JFK's personal pollster and told him on the night of the election he would be our 35th president.

I suspect polling was easier back then.

[Honeycombe8]

3. Oh...thx. nt

[Doreen]

4. Slowly or maybe not so slowly

Biden is inching toward 50%. If he grlets there I have a feeling it will rise above that much quicker.

[George II]

28. Think about it, he has more than 20 opponents and he's only 4% under a majority over ALL of them....

....combined.

[Thekaspervote]

5. Great!!!

[Kahuna7]

6. Dang! Biden is leading with every demographic. Every one!

[DownriverDem]

8. Folks don't get it.

Biden represent normalcy. Folks want normalcy. I would love to see a Biden/Harris ticket.

[crazytown]

7. I would prefer Buttigieg, Warren or Harris

but I don’t want to see Joe stumble either.

[DownriverDem]

11. I want to win

I want to see Biden/Harris.

[crazytown]

12. And I'm always amused by the assumption

that those who support other candidates to not want to win.

[Kahuna7]

14. Oh wow. That's a really nice thing to say. nt

[crazytown]

16. It would be bad for the Democratic Party

but, who would want a man of decency and kindness laid low? He’s a treasure.

[DoctorJoJo]

9. Sure Lots of Ones and Zeros--Looks Like a Binary Map!

[Hortensis]

10. Good to see Warren, Harris, O'Rourke and Booker

are still doing better than the ten competing for "1."

But oh darn that Sen. Amy Klobuchar isn't. That's just plain wrong for one of our most effective Democratic senators. She's more moderate than other good people, yes, but an outstandingly competent, moderate, progressive, liberal just shouldn't be in the same group as opportunistic self-promoters like Gabbard, Moulton, and Gravel.

As for Sanders' drop, occurs to me that that the Mueller report didn't trigger action against Trump is personally bad news for him. He's been campaigning for votes from the dissident left and the populist, trumpster right and left, but Trump still has the right mostly locked up.

23. Thank you for your comment about Amy Klouchar.

I too am unhappy that her talent is not being recognized for what it is. (That is obvious by my presidential preference.) She is my senator, and I could not be prouder of her service to our state. I will support her completely.

[WeekiWater]

25. I was so impressed by Klobuchar at the...

She The People Forum. Really looking forward to hearing more from her.

[MyNameGoesHere]

13. From first, to flop

Damn. Karma IS a bi@#*

[Buckeyeblue]

15. I prefer others but will happily vote for Joe

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Here we are, closing in on Election Day

This is going to be a nail biter.

[fleabiscuit]

20. Oh ya.

[fleabiscuit]

18. That's gonna leave a mark. nt

[pdsimdars]

19. These early polls mean almost nothing about the future.

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. Early?

18 months out is early?



Not around here.

[Funtatlaguy]

26. Not 18, we are 9 months away from Iowa.

[TwilightZone]

32. This isn't the general election.

If you think that this will only be relevant 18 months from now, you might want to look at the primary schedule.

[YOHABLO]

21. Polls polls polls ... they keep coming and people keep believing them.

[emulatorloo]

29. Are you saying they are fake news? Or what are you saying exactly? Thanks in advance!

[YOHABLO]

37. I'm saying that I am a skeptic at this point in this campaign era. I'm a wait and see kind of guy.

Let's not forget they had Hillary out there beating Trump. So who knows this early what will happen.

[LanternWaste]

35. Best thing for a bias to stay strong is to dismiss and deny polls.

"Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth."

~Ludwig Borne~

[johannsyah]

24. Buttigieg seems to be in steady position.

[George II]

27. Just 4% shy of a clear majority over 20+ opponents. Think about that folks.

[highplainsdem]

31. +1,000,000

[emmaverybo]

30. People can collect a lot of baggage over the course of decades, but also

a lot of good will. In Biden’s case, that good will has been well earned. He has shown the mettle of his character many times, in the worst of times.
I think he’d be good for the country, especially now when divisiveness and incivility set the tone in domestic politics; most important, when we and our allies face such strong threats from Russia and North Korea.
Although I’d like to see someone of Biden’s stature and experience lead on the world stage, I feel there are other candidates with the intellect and will to restore sanity to our foreign policy and to guide us through the dangers ahead.
Given the Dem roster this election cycle, it’s possible to not only vanquish Trump, but to herald a better day for the world.
Go Dems.

[flamingdem]

33. Hear, hear!

[Cha]

34. K!

36. Washington Post-Opinion: Voters aren't playing along with the media narrative

Link to tweet

The latest Hill-HarrisX poll shows former vice president Joe Biden opening up a 32-point lead over Sanders, whose claim to the party’s heart is evaporating before our eyes. The latest Morning Consult poll shows Biden expanding his share to 40 percent (up 4 points from the previous week) and Sanders tumbling to 19 percent (down from 27 percent in February). In other words, available evidence suggests that at present the predicted story lines aren’t emerging.....

The most reliable voters — African American women — have little affection for Sanders, nor have they automatically gravitated to African American candidates to the left of Biden. They know Biden, they like him and so far they are content to reward him with their support after his eight years of service in the Obama administration.

The lack of appeal among African American candidates is now a significant problem for Sanders and for other progressives such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. (The latest Quinnipiac poll found, “Biden had the support of 42 percent of nonwhite respondents, more than 30 points ahead of his nearest rival, Warren. Sanders, who struggled with nonwhite voters during his 2016 campaign, had only 7 percent support.”)

In short, in going far to the left, Sanders and other candidates misfired not only with older, more moderate whites but also with the critical African American electorate. The media likewise has overestimated the influence of the far left and failed to appreciate the centrist bent of both white and African American voters.

38. Joe will be an unshakable standard bearer for the Democratic Party.
