Poll #1: Who is going to win the 2020 Democratic primary?

"You conservatives", that's funny. Get a clue.

@texasgoldrush: no

Just looking at that list reminds me of two words "Shit Show".

Awww, did that trigger you? Do you need your safe space, snowflake?

I have these two at the top as well, but I consider them flipped. People on this board tend to overestimate Sanders's strengths and underestimate his weaknesses (probably because the progressive wing of the party is overrepresented here and the establishment wing is underrepresented here).

Regardless, it's super early and there is a lot of room for movement. We don't even have to worry about early races hitting before candidates have time to build momentum yet.

Not sure why you think Sanders will beat Biden.

Right now avg. is Biden 31.2 vs Sanders 21.7 except in an Emerson poll posted earlier today which has a Sanders lead, but considering it´s an Emerson poll it´s not a massive surprise,

But Biden has not even announced yet so if he doesn´t it looks like a cakewalk for Sanders through the primaries.

And the polls and the media overestimate Biden's as well. I can see both Sanders and Biden losing in the primary to a more complete candidate like Harris.

People do not know how bad of a candidate Biden is right now.

The real crisis with the Democrats is that the culture is with the moderates but going by the policy polls, it favors the progressives. The Overton Window on many issues have shifted left.

I really don't want Biden to win.

@texasgoldrush: The overton window has indeed shifted, you're right about that

Polls now are based on name recognition.

Wait till some of these guys get some real exposure.

Why?

Considering who he may run against, who do you want to win?

Feel the Bern.

@Jacanuk: I don't know, Joe Rogan?

As long as we don't get someone in there like the current conman that we have now.

I fear that we may never recover fully from some of the asinine, and completely untested decisions/executive orders that this current fiasco has produced. No matter who wins. BUT if this county is really so delusional to re-elect Trump, I fear for the future.

Lets "close" the poll. After 9 days, 7 hours and 39 votes cast, the results are:

• Joe Biden: 28%
• Cory Booker: 3%
• Tulsi Gabbard: 3%
• Kamala Harris: 8%
• Beto O'Rourke: 5%
• Bernie Sanders: 38%
• Elizabeth Warren: 5%
• Andrew Yang: 10%
• Everyone else: 0%

Thank you to those who participated.

Centrism evolved into neoliberal corporatists.

Kamala Harris

Establishment and can pull the progressives because shes not white or male

I would say bernie but the DNC already cheated him once so I doubt they will let him win this time

I guess we should ask the DNC who is going to win. They will arrange for it.

Bernie and Kamala would be a strong ticket.

Who will most likely loose to Trump?

Sanders, absolutely destroyed in the Fox News town hall debate. While Biden was up in the early polls, now Sanders has taken the lead. Even if Biden announces I feel like his centrist views aren't going to be aligned with the whole of the democratic base.

The fact is the democratic party is adopting a socialist platform. That's what a good portion of the base wants, also most Americans want medicare for all in a recent poll (2 out of every 3). I think Sanders would do well against Trump, it will be close but he's kind of the democratic Trump. He fires up the base.

The Democratic base isn't socialist and thinking that will only lead to another loss.

If the DNC wants a massive rebellion and guaranteed to get Trump re-elected, don't make the same mistake twice. A lot of Sanders supporters abandoned Hillary, downright didn't vote because of the cheats, if it happens this time... oh boy. There will be chaos. Especially with him being the frontrunner.

I didn't say they are socialists, I said they are adopting the platform. In a recent poll they embrace the green deal, medicare for all, free tuition, 70% tax rate for the rich, etc.

A lot of what Sanders proposed in 2016, is pretty much being adapoted by the party, hence why almost all candidates running are progressives that also embrace those policies. Hence why Sanders is destroying in the polls everyone except Biden (and now he's above). In addition to making a lot more money in fundraising < note without corporate backing, just grassroots.

And yet he wasn't the winner just a couple years ago. He's also not the only one running on some of those issues. Nonetheless we need to stop electing old men to the position. Should not be allowed to run past 65.

Don't be daft. Of course he wasn't a winner, he was not as popular as Clinton in 2016. The party hadn't adopted or cared for universal healthcare, free tuition, etc..

And while you may say he's not the only one running on those issues, he's perceived as the father of those issues for the party. Hence why he's got a 31% polling as of late. Fact is, it's not like his support has gone down, unlike Biden, his popularity is increasing by the minute. His fundraising numbers are exploding as well.

I honestly don't care if you're old or young. I care about the person and his policies. That's a democracy. To say someone who's 65 can't run is very undemocratic.

@Master_Live: damn, did bot expect Andrew Yang to grow and surpass Elizabeth Warren
