**Regular Joe up, Sanders down in 538 A rated* Fox News Poll**




Former Vice President Joe Biden leads the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president, according to the latest Fox News Poll.

Among Democratic primary voters, Biden’s 35 percent (up from 31 percent in March) leaves Bernie Sanders in a distant second place with 17 percent (down from 23 percent).


Elizabeth Warren is next at 9 percent, Pete Buttigieg receives 6 percent, followed by Kamala Harris at 5 percent, Beto O’Rourke at 4 percent, Cory Booker at 3 percent, and Julian Castro and Amy Klobuchar at 2 percent apiece. John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Jay Inslee, Tim Ryan, Marianne Williamson, and Andrew Yang each garner one percent.

Since March, Warren and Buttigieg gained five percentage points and Biden is up four, while Sanders dropped six points, O’Rourke four and Harris three.



*A rated from 538 https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/

...Harris lost almost half of hers.

Though with a pretty large MoE, it's hard to be too sure of anything.

Biden still leads but Warren is coming on strong.

I will vote for whoever wins the nomination but my preference has gone from Beto to Warren or Harris. I like what I’ve heard from Inslee and Mayor Pete too. Long, long way to go, the nominee could be a surprise.

I will admit I was taken aback like a lot of pundits when I heard Joe say Republicans would come to their senses post Trump, have an “epiphany”. I highly doubt that, they have been resolute righties since Obama won, this stubborn opposition goes back pre Trump.

Pollster Luntz ginning up numbers. Not mention their own fox poll above, which gets in the way of what they want to promote.
