Warren narrows Biden's lead in new poll

Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass) support jumped up in a new poll, cutting into former Vice President Joe Biden's lead in the Democratic presidential primary.

Warren had the support of 24 percent of registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent voters, based on an IBD/TIPP poll released Tuesday, marking a 7-point uptick for the senator since an August poll.

By contrast, Biden saw a 2 point decrease in his support, leaving it at 28 percent. He now leads Warren by just 4 points, compared to a 13 point difference in the previous poll.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) remains in third with the support of 12 percent of those surveyed, consistent with last month’s poll, while Sen. Kamala Harris's (D-Calif.) support dropped 5 points, from 11 percent to 6 percent. Harris is now just slightly ahead of South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who's at 5 percent support, while Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is at 4 percent based on the IBD/TIPP poll.

No other candidates polled higher than 1 percent.

who has been able to make sizeable gains among democratic primary voters.

Seems that once you get to know her, you start to like her!

(Disclaimer: If EW fails to win, I'll still be pleased to be able to vote for Joe or Bernie or Kamala or Pete or Beto or whomever the democratic nominee is!)

but I will in no way be pleased to do it because I'm not confident he would be Trump but then I've voted for a number of Democratic presidential candidates who not only lost but got crushed starting with my first vote for McGovern in '72.
