8/7 SurveyUSA NATIONAL poll: Biden 33%, Sanders 20%, Warren 19%, Harris 9%, Buttigieg 8%

All others combined 3%.

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=1736552c-4e9a-461e-ba78-2cc6729082fd


Biden has 40% or more support among seniors (43%), among moderates (44%), among those with a high-school education (42%), among Evangelical Christians (46%), among Protestants (42%), among those who are "strongly pro-life" (40%), and among residents of the Northeast (41%), surprising given that there are 5 other Democratic candidates running from the Northeast region --- Sanders, Warren, Gillibrand, de Blasio and Booker. Sanders exceeds 40% support among the youngest voters (45%) and, of importance, outpaces Biden 35% to 30% among single parents. Warren does not break 30% in any demographic group, but has disproportionate support among women (22%), independents (24%), single voters (22%), Catholics (22%), those who attend religious services "almost never" (23%), among self-described "poor" voters (22%), among white middle-class voters (23%), and in LGBTQ households (25%), where Warren finishes in 1st place, nominally ahead of both Biden and Sanders, and with twice the support of Buttigieg, who is openly gay.

Biden's air of invincibility survives, despite debates in June and July in which Biden was at best lackluster. Assuming incumbent President Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in 2020, a majority of active, engaged Democrats say that Working-Class Joe is the Democrats' best hope:

* 52% say Biden has the best chance to defeat Trump in the November general election.
* 15% say Sanders, a 2016 re-tread, has the best chance to defeat Trump.
* 11% say Warren has the best chance to defeat Trump.
* No other Democrat is in double digits.
