7. 538 has it and lists it as a YouGov Poll.

Its old and from the 3rd week in December, but must have just been released.

The newest YouGov Poll is listed right with it and gives these results:

Jan 5-7, 2020

YouGov

Biden 27%

Warren 22%

Sanders 20%

Buttigieg 7%

I only posted this because people were celebrating the older YouGov Poll, which has quite different results, to illustrate how much single polls can bounce around.

Soon we will all have actual results to discuss, and I am really looking forward to that!

Hmm, it seems that OLD and OUTDATED poll from December might just have been released. That doesn't change the fact its the older and outdated one.

You are right, ignoring the newer YouGov poll is quite funny!

slightest sign that Warren's recovering after slipping in the polls.

YouGov has tended to favor Warren, in the same way Emerson favors Sanders.

17. Yeah, that's why the previous YouGov Poll had Biden +14 ;)

and everyone celebrating.

lol

One thing that can be said about the YouGov poll is that it actually reflects changes in the polling that coincide with real world events.

The MorningConsult Poll and the Harris X polls, by contrasts, are always strong for Biden and return the same results week after week after week with barely any movement.

Which on is more accurate? Time will tell.

Actual voting starts soon.



Have a nice evening, I have to run.
