Disclaimer : These polls are more than 6 months out from the Primary, and hence are early polls. No single poll should be over emphasized.

Winning the battleground states in the rust belt is important. In this poll Warren shows surprising strength in Biden's home state.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

The polls are what the polls are.

This pollster is rate B- by 538. That's the same rating the Morning Consult poll, which is very popular here on Du, received from 538.

primary today, I would vote for:

Any poll that doesn't show Joe winning by huge margins is suspect to many of his supporters on here. OTOH any poll showing him way ahead is pure gold and demonstrates exactly what will happen when voting begins. It's almost as if they don't want any competition, which I find funny considering they view him as unbeatable.
