Monmouth Poll: Sanders And Warren At The Top

[Marilyn MonHoe 11,011]

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden top the Democratic field for president in 2020, with no clear leader, according to a Monmouth University poll released Monday.

The three candidates are bunched together, each receiving about the same amount of support (Sanders 20%, Warren 20% and Biden 19%) from registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent voters.

They're followed by California Sen. Kamala Harris (8%), New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (4%), South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (4%), businessman Andrew Yang (3%), former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro (2%), former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (2%) and author Marianne Williamson (2%). All other candidates received 1% or less in the poll.

Since Monmouth's June poll, Sanders and Warren have gained slightly (up 6 and 5 percentage points), while Biden has lost significant support (down 13 points).

The results don't impact who has qualified for the debates in September, with the Wednesday deadline fast approaching. This is Williamson's first poll hitting 2%, giving her one debate qualifying poll. Williamson, who has said she has met the donor threshold, would need three more polls to qualify.

Biden's decline comes mostly from registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independent voters who consider themselves moderate or conservative, down 18 points since June. Meanwhile, Sanders and Warren have gained 10 percentage points each among those voters, an area that isn't considered strong for either of the very liberal candidates.

Biden also lost support among those who don't have a college degree (down 17 points) and those under the age of 50 (down 15 points).

On the subject of health care, more than half (58%) of Democratic voters say it's very important that they nominate someone who supports "Medicare for All," and another half (53%) want to allow people to either opt in to Medicare or keep their private coverage over getting rid of all private insurance (22%).

Warren will set herself further apart when she is on the debate stage with Joe Biden

This is so encouraging to hear! The people want progressive politics! I don't want to water down the policies this country so desperately needs and pick a moderate just because the best candidate happens to look similar to Hillary!!

Random question for you/anyone who wants to answer!

Would you rather Sanders/Warren, or Warren/Sanders, and why?

[Fatigay 21,211]

Honestly, unless big manipulation from the DNC, it's either gonna be Bernie or Elizabeth (MEGA YES)

I just hope that the no matter which one is the Democrat candidate, the other will FULLY support them. Together they have an immense support group.

I loved Biden as a VP, but he needs to step aside this time.

Sanders/Warren. He's more progressive, his record is better (he didn't vote to expand Trump's military budget by almost a trillion dollars like Warren did, for example), and he's the most liked politician in America. Plus, his coalition of voters is mostly made up of working class POC and women whereas Warren's base of support is mostly wealthy, white liberals. He appeals to the people we need to win. He's far and away he most electable and the most progressive. I've always liked Warren, but it's not really a question for me.

Plus he has the most volunteers, the most individual donors and the most money out of everybody

Yes

Come on, Queen Warren

[Melech 9,900]

I hope Warren gets it. 

Eventhough I would love to see a Jewish president. 

[Gov Hooka 8,008]

This is wonderful, but I'm more troubled by some of the Senate polls in states that can flip from red to blue. We need to direct as much attention to flipping the Senate

Does it matter? 

Now if someone said "I would love to see a White president", this site would be going nuts

The point is, your post is unnecessary and segregates people.

broooo it's about representation. same reason why electing a black president in such a systemically racist country was a big deal. the (eventual) election of a jewish president will be huge because of the persecution and racism jewish people have faced throughout history across the world.

nobody would ever say "i would love to see a white president" because we've seen ****ing 44 of them, that point makes zero sense
