21. If the vote were held today, I'd make my choice more quickly and vote for that candidate.

May 2019

However, as the process does not begin for almost a year, there is ample time to choose with zero consequence to waiting.

I'm leaning towards some candidates and leaning away from others. But... well, early days.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I cant believe 40% of DU are still "undecided" in our poll. [View all] oldsoftie May 2019 OP

Okay. I'd recommend you not bother being worried, though. Hortensis May 2019 #1

Well stated! SallyHemmings May 2019 #8

Strong and beautifully succinct stand. Hortensis May 2019 #12

Even though I picked Joe as my starting avatar, I will support the nominee no matter who. lark May 2019 #29

Me too Joediss May 2019 #41

Supporting one candidate may be interpreted as not supporting others DBoon May 2019 #62

No one has asked anyone to "commit." It's a simple question: thesquanderer May 2019 #20

:) Sure, just a relatively frivolous game then. Hortensis May 2019 #26

Yes, just a curiosity of where the numbers would fall given the way the poll is worded. oldsoftie May 2019 #49

I would, if forced to choose among at least 12 I like, choose Harris. dawg day May 2019 #58

I suspect we'll see movement after the debates begin. Hortensis May 2019 #65

Yes, and the first one isnt too far out! oldsoftie May 2019 #67

Yes, thats all my intent was. Just a simple question; not a commitment! Thanks. oldsoftie May 2019 #48

Sorry I came off so aggressive, a misdirected reaction Hortensis May 2019 #66

Thats OK, not a problem at all. Thank u! oldsoftie May 2019 #68

some people might change their mind every few days JI7 May 2019 #90

It's way too early to commit Otto Lidenbrock May 2019 #2

It is more than a year until the election. Srkdqltr May 2019 #3

I agree. Delmette2.0 May 2019 #42

I think a good portion of DU doesn't even come to this specific forum sometimes. Agschmid May 2019 #4

Oldsoftie, may I suggest donating as a far more meaningful Hortensis May 2019 #10

The first election isn't until 2020. I'm in no hurry to decide. Opel_Justwax May 2019 #5

True, although its likely to be down to the wire by the end of March because of Super Tuesday oldsoftie May 2019 #51

I've elimitated several of the announced candidates irisblue May 2019 #6

Post again October 15th.... need 4 debates before thinking of narrowing down. 4139 May 2019 #7

John Edwards, his history with & for me. irisblue May 2019 #14

Good point oldsoftie May 2019 #50

I have a choice, but I don't want to get into having to defend my choice MGKrebs May 2019 #15

You are correct on that! Its a good point. nt oldsoftie May 2019 #74

I think it's healthy that so many are undecided. MBS May 2019 #16

I agree hlthe2b May 2019 #22

Campaigns are long loyalsister May 2019 #17

I can't believe 60% of DU are "decided" already mtnsnake May 2019 #18

Because it's about who we would vote for if it were held today; we can change our minds later LongtimeAZDem May 2019 #19

Yes, you are right, but "undecided" is an option in the poll mtnsnake May 2019 #25

If the vote were held today, I'd make my choice more quickly and vote for that candidate. LanternWaste May 2019 #21

I'd note that all three of our DU admins count themselves "undecided" currently, (though they may hlthe2b May 2019 #23

That may be what the Sig line thing says but in our profile... WePurrsevere May 2019 #24

I see. I didnt know there was a difference. Thank you. oldsoftie May 2019 #75

Well, it's NOT being held today, so I have no reason to commit to a candidate... TreasonousBastard May 2019 #28

I think there are so many good candidates lots of people are waiting a while. redstatebluegirl May 2019 #30

Other people are so annoying, aren't they? jberryhill May 2019 #31

Why Such A Lather Me. May 2019 #32

I blame the phrasing of the question Shrek May 2019 #35

Believe it! MontanaMama May 2019 #36

I can't believe you would demand an answer to a hypothetical. Demit May 2019 #37

It was never a demand, just a curiosity. Simply because of the wording thats all. oldsoftie May 2019 #53

Some might not want to because it automatically becomes a part of the argument. SouthernProgressive May 2019 #38

Thats a very good point. Especially seeing how some can get!!! oldsoftie May 2019 #52

I choose snowybirdie May 2019 #39

The election is not today so kacekwl May 2019 #40

So what? BannonsLiver May 2019 #43

I vowed to stay uncommitted until at least 2 debates. Funtatlaguy May 2019 #44

My take, even for a hypothetical question is there is insufficient information at this time. mitch96 May 2019 #45

I'm waiting for some debates to decide, therefore I am undecided. aikoaiko May 2019 #46

I cant believe you are so worried about the "40% undecided" in our poll solara May 2019 #47

Because it takes like 45 seconds to make a post? Not that big a deal. oldsoftie May 2019 #56

I don't accept your premise -- that I must choose now. I refuse. earthshine May 2019 #69

OK, that made me LOL. "I refuse". I love it. oldsoftie May 2019 #72
