Joe Biden Crushes Bernie Sanders, Leads Elizabeth Warren in 6 Latest Polls [View all]

By Tommy Christopher Aug 28th

A recent poll showing former Vice President Joe Biden trailing Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren for the Democratic presidential nomination appears to have been an outlier, if the six most recent national Democratic primary polls are any indication. Biden has double-digit leads in most of them, and significant leads in all.

Earlier this week, a Monmouth University poll that showed Warren and Sanders at 20 percent nationally — one point ahead of Biden at 19 percent — got a lot of attention, and left people wondering if a Biden slide was imminent. As we noted yesterday, it wasn’t just the one poll; an Economist/YouGov poll taken one day after the Monmouth and completed the same day has Biden at 22 percent, Sanders within the margin of error at 19, and Warren at 17.

But since then, six more national polls have come out, and they all show Biden with especially commanding leads against Sanders, and convincing leads against Warren, although the Massachusetts senator is hanging in there.

An Economist/YouGov poll taken 8/24 – 8/27 has Biden at 25 percent, Sanders at 14, and Warren at 21 percent. That’s a five-point drop for Sanders, but a three-point bump for Biden and Warren in the space of a week.

Not really, You Gov was always closer than other polls...Biden will be the nominee in my opinion and Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #10

Soon it is going to be down to Biden v Warren, at that point the main event starts. nt Blue_true Aug 2019 #4
I don't think so. What Warren supporters overlook is that she does not attract AA supporters. Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #12
President Obama was not attracting big AA support, until he won Iowa. Blue_true Aug 2019 #15
I see no sign that is going to happen...she simply is too far left for these somewhat conservative Demsrule86 Aug 2019 #16
I expect an irascible version of Bernie to show up in the next debate. oasis Aug 2019 #5
