Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has taken the lead for the first time — albeit a slim one — in the NBC News/Wall Street Journal national Democratic primary poll, beating former Vice President Joe Biden by a single point. With just days to go before Democrats begin casting votes, Sanders is in a statistical dead heat with Biden in the poll: Sanders gets 27 percent support from Democratic primary voters around the country, while Biden gets 26 percent. Sanders’ single-point advantage, while well within the poll’s +/- 4.74 percentage point margin of error, marks his first lead of the primary in the NBC/WSJ survey. https://www.mediaite.com/news/shock-poll-bernie-sanders-takes-lead-in-nbc-news-national-poll-for-first-time/ Here's some interesting tidbits from the poll: -The new survey marks a six-point gain for Sanders since last month. In the December NBC/WSJ poll, Biden led the field with 28 percent, with Sanders at 21 percent, Warren at 18 percent and Bloomberg at 4 percent. -Sanders’ most powerful advantage may be the loyalty of his backers. Sixty percent of his supporters say they will definitely vote for him, while 48 percent say the same for Biden. -Despite worries that Sanders’ progressive politics might make him completely unpalatable to the Democratic Party’s centrists and potential swing voters, just 12 percent of Democratic primary voters say they are “very uncomfortable” with his candidacy, a share that’s statistically comparable to those who say the same of his rivals. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/sanders-biden-are-neck-neck-new-nbc-wsj-national-poll-n1127051 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Taken all this together (in addition to the lead Bernie took in a recent CNN poll), and mixed with the fact that Bernie has the highest approval rating of any politician in the country and pulls the highest in head-to-head against Trump, the arguments centrists like to make (including many here on GGD) are essentially moot and baseless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maleficent 6 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 whatever happens, remember only one democrat has won the Iowa caucus and actually won the Presidency (Obama) since 1984. The fight is never over. Rise for Bernie always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
