2. Biden keeps gaining, showing what people

are wanting against divisive demagoguery and populist rhetoric. Familiarity, consistency, reliable government.

[Scurrilous]

4. ...

[CrossingTheRubicon]

12. Exactly. Americans are desperate for a turn away from toxic populism.

Joe Biden would be a healing choice.

[JonLP24]

31. Not if you need to file bankruptcy and beat the deadline of the bankruptcy reform

Plus he gave a paid speech for a Republican. Sanders has to deal with "not a Democrat".

[monmouth4]

6. How very disappointing..n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. I can think of worse outcomes.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

15. Yes, disappointing... surprised Biden is ahead of Bernie, but, Joe was Obama's VP...

so he has enormous name recognition. Besides, if he decides not to run, which is what I expect, that would leave Bernie firmly in the lead.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[BannonsLiver]

16. Exactly.

Once voters get to know Bernie he will dominate.

[BannonsLiver]

28. I forgot the sarcasm thingy

[quickesst]

30. Actually....

.... the sarcasm thingy shouldn't have been necessary. I should have seen your post for what it was. I have deleted my reply and apologize for jumping the gun, which is something I rail against when someone else does it.

[Demsrule86]

18. The only important thing is that Trump loses.

[monmouth4]

19. Definitely agree with that. n/t

[Demsrule86]

34. Trump has got to go.

[LAS14]

10. This is just name recognition. nt

[RelativelyJones]

11. Nope. It's going to be Biden/Harris 2020.

[drray23]

13. it would be the perfect ticket.

It would get us 16 years straight.

[PupCamo]

17. I would work my butt off for that ticket

[LanternWaste]

25. That excuse worked last time around. Not any more.

20. Well, it shows that Biden has support out there.

It may just be that Democrats, having suffered through part of Trump's first term as President, want some stability and experience in the White House from their nominee. Maybe people are looking for less drama than we've experienced recently.

Frankly, it's not the active, highly political Democrats who end up electing Presidents. If that were the case, Republicans would probably remain in power. Instead, it's the average Democratic voter who ends up deciding.

That Biden is doing as well as he appears to be, even before announcing his candidacy seems to bolster that point of view.

We had plenty of drama in the last presidential election and the primaries that led up to it. Maybe too much, really. Perhaps Democrats are looking right now for a less dramatic candidate with less hoopla surrounding him or her. Perhaps we need a break from the drama.

That's my guess, as I watch the early activity, long before the first caucuses and primaries. I suspect that a Biden announcement is going to be very welcome to a vast number of Democrats out there. Stability and lack of drama may be just the thing we need for 2020. Trump has worn everyone out thoroughly.

A ticket headed by someone like Biden, with a VP choice who is a promising, up-and-coming phenomenon might just be the right answer for a decisive win in 2020, both for the White House and Congress.

That's what I'm thinking these days. People might just be saying, "Turn down the volume a little, OK?"

[peggysue2]

22. I agree, MM

Stability, trust and an experienced hand will be needed to get this train back on track. Biden fills those requirements and has--at this moment--a strong and essential electability quotient. He can take it to the Trumpster. With a young, up-an-coming VP, he can also be perceived as a candidate looking towards the future of the country and the Party. Despite his age, Joe Biden still has juice and credibility among staunch Democrats. There's a yearning for normalcy, sanity.

Now, it's up to Uncle Joe to make that final decision: To be or not to be.

[MineralMan]

23. I think he's going to run.

Poll results might be what causes him to pull the trigger. He needs to believe that a run could be successful, since he will have to expend a lot of energy. That's something we old geezers don't have an excess of, so we sort of insist on making our energy go in a possible direction.

But, the signs are there on his side. I think we'll hear from him shortly about his run for the Presidency. I can't say exactly when, but I think he's going to do it.

If he does, I'll be changing from Undecided to Biden. I think he can win in a big, big way.

[peggysue2]

26. I'm right there with you, MM

If Joey Biden jumps in, he'll have my support.

[Demsrule86]

21. I am in if Biden runs won't be undecided anymore. I think he can beat Trum like a drum.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. Like a rented drum.

I back Harris currently, but I'd be perfectly okay with Biden. Without a doubt.

[Demsrule86]

33. How about Biden Harris...I like her too...my concern is can a woman win the presidency?

Sexism is rampant in this country. Maybe a female VP could ease the country into the idea of a woman president. I will vote for whoever the nominee is of course.

[Bucky]

29. As a former statistical analyst, It bugs me not having cross tables on this

[Yosemito]

32. Not clear whether it was conducted entirely after bernie's announcement

This poll probably doesn’t account for all the post announcement momentum.

[Demsrule86]

35. Other than the money angle...haven't seen any momentum.

[UniteFightBack]

36. Just go with Joe, he Knows. nt

[lindysalsagal]

37. Waaaaay too soon to put any confidence in polls.
