The CNN poll, which has Biden leading Sanders 26% to 20%, has Biden leading Sanders among white voters 21% to 14%, and among non-white voters 34% to 25%.

The Quinnipiac poll has Biden leading Sanders 30% to 16% overall, has him leading Sanders 22% to 20% among whites and 52% to 6% among blacks.

I've already pointed out that the Emerson poll has Sanders leading with Hispanic voters -- again, I think that's an outlier -- but the poll shows Biden leading Sanders 24% to 22% among whites and 52% to 19% among blacks.

Again, the only demographic group that Sanders frequently leads with is that of the youngest, least reliable voters, the group most likely to find the promise of free college and student debt forgiveness an irresistible inducement (and one which will never happen).

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

Two months from now, I won't be the one dreaming. Tiggeroshii Dec 2019 #46
Biden's led all year. The Sanders mini-surge is probably partly a sympathy vote because of highplainsdem Dec 2019 #47
