HorusRa2 5,005 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 SANDERS TAKES TOP SPOT IN DEM PRIMARY AS BIDEN FALLS, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NATIONAL POLL FINDS; BLOOMBERG RISES IN PRIMARY, RUNS STRONG AGAINST TRUMP In the wake of the Iowa caucuses and heading into the New Hampshire primary, there is a dramatic shift in the Democratic primary race for president as Senator Bernie Sanders claims frontrunner status for the first time, overtaking former Vice President Joe Biden, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today. Sanders gets 25 percent of the vote among Democratic voters and independent voters who lean Democratic, while Biden gets 17 percent, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg receives 15 percent, Senator Elizabeth Warren gets 14 percent, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg receives 10 percent, and Senator Amy Klobuchar gets 4 percent. No other candidate tops 2 percent. In a January 28th poll, prior to the Iowa caucuses, Biden had a modest lead with 26 percent of the vote while Sanders got 21 percent, Warren had 15 percent, Bloomberg received 8 percent, Klobuchar got 7 percent, and Buttigieg received 6 percent. “Biden scrambles to bounce back in frigid New Hampshire after an icy slide to 17 percent, his lowest national number,” said Quinnipiac University Poll Analyst Tim Malloy. “Is the Bloomberg camp prepping the white horse for him to ride to the rescue? Maybe not yet, but without setting foot in Iowa or New Hampshire, he is suddenly a looming shadow over the primary field,” Malloy added. Among moderate and conservative Democrats and Democratic leaners, there is now a close race for the top spot. This group had favored Biden by a wide margin, but his challengers are making inroads. Today, Biden receives 22 percent, Bloomberg gets 21 percent, Sanders gets 17 percent, and Buttigieg receives 12 percent. Biden no longer dominates on the key question of electability, as 27 percent say Biden has the best chance of winning against Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, while 24 percent say Sanders, 17 percent say Bloomberg, and 9 percent say Buttigieg. In the January 28th poll, Biden led on this question with 44 percent, followed by Sanders at 19 percent and Bloomberg at 9 percent. “Clearly Biden’s fourth place finish in Iowa has hurt the perception of what was his biggest strength – electability,” Malloy said.

Pop Music 20,540 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Personally I still love warren but (and I might get hate for this) I am really here for any candidate on the democratic side (my second choice being Bernie and then Mayor Pete) I am here for anyone trying to beat trump (ofc I have specifics I want for America) but hearing most of them speak they all have qualities i like in each of them which made it hard to choose Whoever gets the democratic nominee I will support (hope it's not Biden cause he's my last choice but even then I will support him) Pop Music and Lady Gaga forever!

Harris Walz 2024 1,451 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 You can't win the nomination with 25% of the delegates. He'll never get to 1991 delegates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had to have been the moment the Obama people, etc. threw all of their support behind her, but they waited too long. Not to mention, centrists and establishment people love to window shop! The voters are undecided and just moving between Pete-Joe-Klobuchar (and some Warren), and the establishment was WAY too confident in Joe 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
