Elizabeth Warren has seen a solid polling bump. Here's why.
Warren has withstood the entry of 20-some competitors, and after mediocre polling led to media insinuations she couldnt sustain a campaign, she still ranks in the top handful of candidates. She has two supremely obvious things in her favor: Shes very well-known and Democratic primary voters like her. Warren has distinguished herself with a very thoroughly prepared policy platform.
Shes positioned herself solidly to the left of the frontrunner Biden and already taken some oblique shots at the former vice president. If the rest of the Dem field comes down to Biden rivals and Biden replacements, as Kyle Kondik at the University of Virginias Center for Politics is starting to expect it will, Warren is emerging as a top Biden rival. That puts her and Sanders in direct competition, and they do seem to be splitting the progressive wings vote.
..
Shes one of the more famous members of the Democratic Senate caucus, and shes led the way on a number of prominent policy positions in the Democratic field. Its not surprising that shes typically among the polling leaders, although far off the lead, Kondik says. When and if Biden or Sanders falls off, she could potentially benefit.
Warren has a clear reason for her candidacy scaling back corporate power and putting better checks on capitalism while delivering more benefits for middle and lower-income Americans and a very detailed policy agenda for how she would do it. She has embraced the I have a plan for that meme. In Iowa, according to a new 2020 survey from Change Research, Warren had the highest very favorable rating of any 2020 Democrat, up at 40 percent, edging out Biden and Sanders.

Brewery offers free beer for info on stolen van; 42 minutes later, it was located
Police officers around the country may want to take note on what gets people to start talking to police when they know a crime has been committed.
The Unknown Brewing Company in Charlotte, North Carolina took to social media Monday to ask for help in finding the companys delivery van after thieves stole it. In return for the information, the company offered to throw a party for the person who first identifies where the van was.
