Joe Biden Crushes Bernie Sanders, Leads Elizabeth Warren in 6 Latest Polls

[George II]

By Tommy Christopher Aug 28th

A recent poll showing former Vice President Joe Biden trailing Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren for the Democratic presidential nomination appears to have been an outlier, if the six most recent national Democratic primary polls are any indication. Biden has double-digit leads in most of them, and significant leads in all.

Earlier this week, a Monmouth University poll that showed Warren and Sanders at 20 percent nationally — one point ahead of Biden at 19 percent — got a lot of attention, and left people wondering if a Biden slide was imminent. As we noted yesterday, it wasn’t just the one poll; an Economist/YouGov poll taken one day after the Monmouth and completed the same day has Biden at 22 percent, Sanders within the margin of error at 19, and Warren at 17.

But since then, six more national polls have come out, and they all show Biden with especially commanding leads against Sanders, and convincing leads against Warren, although the Massachusetts senator is hanging in there.

An Economist/YouGov poll taken 8/24 – 8/27 has Biden at 25 percent, Sanders at 14, and Warren at 21 percent. That’s a five-point drop for Sanders, but a three-point bump for Biden and Warren in the space of a week.

2. Definitely showing the gap narrowing in many of the new polls

While the monmouth poll was certainly an outlier in the amount that has been narrowed, the other polls have easily confirmed there is a gap closing between Biden and the other candidates.

10. Not really, You Gov was always closer than other polls...Biden will be the nominee in my opinion and

he can be Trump...maybe coattails for the Senate.

11. The average has already narrowed several points in RCP.

4. Soon it is going to be down to Biden v Warren, at that point the main event starts. nt

12. I don't think so. What Warren supporters overlook is that she does not attract AA supporters.

She will not win the nomination without support from that constituaency...nor should she. Warren has at times been critical of the Obama administration and I believe this will limit her support in the AA community. Also, Biden is significantly ahead of her in most polls.

15. President Obama was not attracting big AA support, until he won Iowa.

If you look at pictures of Warren crowds, more people of color are showing up as she becomes more viable.

I view African American voters as the most astute in terms of voting for their best interests. Right now, that group views Biden as the best choice, but that can change, as it did in 2008.

16. I see no sign that is going to happen...she simply is too far left for these somewhat conservative

voters.

5. I expect an irascible version of Bernie to show up in the next debate.

7. It's too early for these polls to mean much.

13. Did you say this to the people posting that outlier garbage Monmouth poll ad nauseum?

These polls are unvarnished factual data that tell a story, not cherrypicked OP after cherrypicked OP designed to create a bashfest against the Democratic frontunner, VP Joe, about verbal faux pas.
