Former Vice President Joe Biden leads the field of Democratic White House hopefuls but Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is running a close second, according to the latest national survey from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal. The survey finds Biden at 31 percent support, followed by Warren at 25 percent. Biden and Warren are the two biggest gainers in the poll, with Biden rising 5 points from the same survey in July and Warren picking up 6 points.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is in third place with 14 percent support, a 1 point increase from July.
Buttigieg is at 7 percent support, followed by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif) at 5 percent and tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang at 4 percent. Harris's support has fallen dramatically since July, losing 8 points, the biggest drop of any candidate in the field.
Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) are at 2 percent each, and no other candidate received more than 1 percent support.
The NBC-WSJ poll is a qualifying survey for the Democratic presidential debates.

(47,479 posts)and it appeared that Warren was not doing very well among African Americans, though she has made gain
The survey underscored Mr. Bidens strength among voters age 50 and older, as well as among African-Americans, two voting groups that often play influential roles in Democratic primaries.

Warren has made more modest gains with another key Democratic constituency: African Americans. Ten percent of black Democratic primary voters said Warren is their first choice in the latest poll, up 5 points from April. Whether she can continue that improvement in the months leading up to the partys early nominating contests is a crucial question facing Warrens campaign. Among black voters, she still trails Biden by 31 points and Sanders by 11 points.
