1. Well well...this isn't going to make some folks here happy but me I am

2. Steyer? Seriously 😳?

[highplainsdem]

3. He's advertising heavily in those states.

[Funtatlaguy]

4. But that's quite a difference.

He’s at 7% in early states and only 1% nationwide.
Wonder if the early state polling is considered an eligible poll for making the next debate.

[highplainsdem]

5. Yes, early-states polls are considered eligible.

Steyer was at 6% last week, tied with Harris. Now ahead of her in this poll.

Editing to add that he was at 6% in their 8/5 poll, too. Harris was at 8% then.

17. Steyer would be one of our better candidates.

Steyer also doesn't attack our other Democratic candidates in an attempt to gain position.

6. Gee. What happened to Biden's so-called "shrinking lead?" You go Joe, leader of the pack!

[democratisphere]

18. The MSM's attempt to destroy our best candidate.

Ain't going to be allowed to happen.

[Cha]

7. Go Joe Biden!!!

8. Ari Melber was trying so hard touting a Politico article

Basically saying Joe’s campaign is nearly dead. Funny that the numbers don’t reflect that

9. What is the matter with msnbc pundits??

Whatever happened to reporting the news? All it is now is punditry

[Green Line]

10. MSNBC

Has become anti Biden, they show any bad poll, but none of the good ones. I can’t stand Ari Melber, turned to CNN when he was going to show that Politico bullshit.

11. this is what I'm thinking

Joe Biden is at a steady 32% approximately. When I hear other candidates are rising in the polls, surging, on a hot roll Etc, what I'm thinking is that may be true, but I think those surges for the other candidates are simply swapping supporters back and forth amongst themselves, and Joe Biden's supporters are not a part of that, hence the steady lead among candidates. Does that make sense, or am I off base?

12. Perfect analysis - Joe has a loyal, solid base at around 30%. Warren and Sanders are taking turns

leapfrogging over each other, for second and third place (at around 16%). The rest of the field is consistently in single digits. This about sums up the state of this race...

13. it's something that just occurred to me because....

.... I see all of these different polls and charts that have these candidates surging for several days, then the morning consult comes out and it's like deja vu. Joe is solid and the rest are fluctuating back and forth. Now, it will start all over again, and I'm betting within a few days the end results will once again show Biden steady at around 30%. Your link at RCP pretty much proves it. Thanks

[Skya Rhen]

14. Yes, Joe is the only candidate that does not have erratic numbers - they are very stable,

hence his clear front-runner status...

15. looks like tom Steyer just helps Biden remain at the top

[oasis]

16. Joe's got it covered. nt

19. So awesome...
