At a respective 32% and 21% in this latest tracking poll, the standings of Biden and Sanders are essentially unchanged among Democratic primary voters nationwide since early February.
Buttigieg has risen from virtual obscurity in February to sit at 8% nationally, and while Warren has seen her support fall in recent months, her five-point increase since February places her as a top candidate.....
The negative view is that Sen. Sanders has a high floor for his support, but he also appears to have firm ceiling on how high he can go. Pete Buttigieg has taken away voters who might be looking for a non-Biden option, and Elizabeth Warren has taken voters on the left who in 2016 went to Sanders by default. Buttigieg Warren and are equally well funded and they will be in the primary for the long term. If Sanders doesnt win early, there is a chance that he doesnt win at all.

(11,683 posts)How ignorant and Social Media reliant are Americans? It wasn't her fault totally to lose in a fight with The Don's Russians, Comey's clumsily timed investigations and a misinformed populace (and still win the popular vote).

(11,683 posts)Demonizing, lies, swift boating. Limbaugh's freak show talk alone did damage as "Hitlery" was portrayed to the impoverished brains of his typical male, white older listeners and that became the reality. D-bag Trump could shoot someone. While, Hillary was one of the most accomplished, qualified Presidential Candidates ever. But as a women and endlessly attacked by Russians, Comey, billionaire media, it was tough to overcome without some heroics which few could muster.

(32,762 posts)Sanders got 40% of Democratic Primary vote in '16, he's running half that this time. Even if he got 100% of Warren's support, he'd still be behind his '16 vote total. Thehill.com

(7,480 posts)Its well known that Sanders base is white people. Specifically young white liberals. If he loses in these states with loads of them, how can he stay competitive? Contrast that with people like Biden and Warren, and things will be looking bad for Bernard. Not that Ive a problem with that. I dont care for people who use our party when convenient to them and trash life long Democrats at every opportunity. Bernard, and that wretched present Tulsi Gabbard, dont deserve the nomination.

(22,912 posts)Very few people would argue that Booker is unappealing to Black voters. And Harris couldn't even get enough Black support to stay in the race.
The news here remains that Blacks are still solidly behind Biden for now. Sander is in third place among Black voters and in second place among Hispanics. In 2008 Obama was trailing Clinton among Black voters until he beat her in Iowa. Black voters, understandably, want a winner. Right now they are sticking with Biden but that could possibly change
