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 wasnt 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. Thats a five-point drop for Sanders, but a three-point bump for Biden and Warren in the space of a week.
