Poll: Joe Biden clip on criminal justice [View all]

There is probably a good segment of voters who would vote for Joe if he has evolved on this issue, but there's not a lot of evidence that he has. He needs to get out in front of this issue or Sanders, Warren, pretty much the rest of the Democratic Primary candidates will hammer him on it.

Does Joe Biden need to show he's evolved on drug policy to get your vote?
