A CNN poll released Wednesday shows former Vice President Joe Biden leading the pack by the widest margin he’s had since April.
Biden has 34 percent of the vote, followed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at 19 and 16 percent respectively.
According to the poll, Biden has seen support rise from moderate and conservative Democrats, racial minorities and older voters.
The poll also gives both former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) a qualifying national poll needed to make the stage for the November debate.
The poll was conducted with a sample size of 1,003 adults and has a margin of error of +/- 3.7 percentage points.
@discobot should know better than to read too much into any single poll. As is typically the case, we can take this poll as relatively strong evidence that Biden is not collapsing (much to Twitter’s chagrin), but relatively weak evidence he is surging in any meaningful way.
We can make that statement without regard to how we feel about Biden personally (I’m lukewarm, for what it’s worth, but not hostile).
Also, too: the modern primary process is so damn dumb. I’m not sure the classic smoke-filled room was substantially worse.
Hi! To find out what I can do, say
@discobot display help.The junior Senator from Vermont just released a statement that the poll is “rigged”.
So does this mean that O’Rourke and Klobuchar are now in the next debate? Or that they’re one poll closer to getting in? I hope they make it. They should both be there.
