Former Vice President Joe Biden maintains a comfortable lead over the other candidates in the Democratic Party's 2020 primary field, according to a new poll.

A Fox News poll released Thursday found that Biden enjoys an 18-point lead over his closest challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sitting in third place.

Biden was supported by 35 percent of likely Democratic primary voters in the poll, up from 31 percent in March, while Sanders sat at 17 percent, a slight dip from March when he registered support from 23 percent of voters






Go Joe....Your the one.....

2. Hillary led Obama by 19 points in 2007

Was she the one in 2008?

5. well...she came awfully close

her support didn't collapse so far that she didn't come in a very close second.

I suspect Biden will come back to the field a bit, but the odds are that he will be in the top two at the end are pretty strong.

6. Who ever won at that time I would have voted for either....

I voted for Hillary and Obama in the general elections...

7. Sanders is far better known now than Obama was then

Sanders is also widely disliked.

He's not going to rise.

9. Agree....

My opinion he doesn't have the experience enough ….right now we need someone has been there and knows how to take over ..with no job training. Trump has to go....

11. Point stands

I never said Sanders would be in the final group. Don.t think he will be. Others will pass him, just as Obama did. Polls now don't mean much.

[DavidDvorkin]

13. No, the point doesn't stand

The comparison is meaningless.

14. Polls this far out are meaningless

I'll make it simple: polls this far out are meaningless. That's the point. The 2007 polls, as well as many in the past, prove that, whether people like it or not.

18. There weren't two dozen Dems in the race.

19 points ahead of one person is one thing; a similar lead over a field of 22+ is quite another.

Comparisons with prior cycles don't really tell us anything of substance. This one is pretty much unprecedented.

19. No, many of those races had almost as many candidates

Bill Clinton was in the bottom tier of almost 20 candidates in the 1991 polls. The year Jimmy Carter won there were 18 candidates and Dukakis won with a field of 17 candidates. So, no having this many candidates doesn't change the fact that non-incumbents leading the early polls in the Democratic presdiential race haven't won since John Kennedy, who was actually just tied with Stevenson in the early polls. They are 0 for 5.

I'm not sure why people are so reluctant to know this. It's just historical fact and should tell us that while polls may be play a role in positioning early, they are worthless as a predictor for the eventual nominee - unless you want to know who likley won't be the nominee. Added a link:
