"SNIP.....

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds Joe Biden leads President Trump by 9 points among registered voters, 51% to 42% — outside of the poll’s margin of error of plus-minus 3.5 percentage points.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is ahead of Trump by 7 points, 50% to 43%. Sen. Elizabeth Warren holds a 5-point advantage, 48% to 43%. And Sen. Kamala Harris is ahead by just 1 point, 45% to 44% — a jump ball.

primary today, I would vote for:

As long as we have to win the Electoral College, we have to win the middle. Folks need to seriously focus on who can win the Electoral college.

winning nationally by 5 points while narrowly losing the rust belt again is statistically almost impossible. Until we have enough head to head polls in swing states, we can't say any more about the electoral college than that.

As for winning the middle, the fact that Biden and Sanders are in a statistical tue shows that whatever people are looking for, it isb't about policy, personality or geography.

2nd I cannot believe that Kamal Harris only leads by 1 point...this seem to be a poll that political wire wants I don't believe any accuracy exists.

The top four all line up roughly in order of familiarity. As people become more familiar with all the candidates, their relative positions will change.
