Poll: Of possible 2020 contenders, Joe Biden is viewed most favorably by Democrats

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Among those viewed as possible Democrats contenders for the 2020 presidential election, former vice president Joe Biden leads the pack, according to a new poll out Tuesday.

The Morning Consult/Politico poll asked Democratic voters if they had favorable or unfavorable views of Democrats who may explore bids for the 2020 nomination. Biden, 74, came out on top and far above the rest, with 74% saying they had favorable views of the Delaware Democrat.

Rounding out the top 10:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, 51%
Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota, 45%
Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, 37%
Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, 37%
Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, 35%
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, 28%
Sen. Kamala Harris of California, 27%
Sen. Christopher Murphy of Connecticut, 23%
Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana, 21%

1. Name recognition, for the most part

Poor Kaine.

2. Of that's group Harris has climbed the most

I'd wager 3-4 months ago she wouldn't have even been listed. Very very interesting.

3. I dearly love Joe, but even though I'm old, I think he's too old now to be Prez.

Of those listed, I'd choose Kamala Harris for VP. For Prez, right now, my choice is Adam Schiff. I know he's from the House, and not well known yet, but I've been quite impressed with him during the Investigation of the Russia investigation. And yes I'm a woman, but I'd like to see Kmala as the VP because I think it would be wise to make Americans test the waters of having a female leader so they will realize it wouldn't be a problem. We have to recognize there are still quite a few misogynists in our voters.

4. No one 65 or older should run

NB: I'm 77.
Dems need to develop strong younger candidates.

8. +++. I'm 73 and I agree completely, bobbienok. NT

5. Nice that his Iraq War vote &writing the 1994 Crime bill

is not held against Biden.

I don't like his protection of the bank Credit Card industry-but the is the main business in Delaware and perhaps he would not have survived politically if he did not staunchly support it.

6. My main issue with Biden is the Thomas/Anita Hill hearings.

He could have called the other women as witnesses again Thomas, but he chose not to. I think Biden is a genuinely likeable and smart guy, but I won't ever get over watching the confirmation hearing. His opposition to allowing student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy also irritates the hell out me.

11. The Anita Hill hearing was the pits. I watched it with a 7 year old girl who

picked up on the mood and what was happening-even though she did not comprehend the salacious details. She turned to me, looking sad, and asked, "Why don't they believe the girl."

7. A stronger balanced ticket in 2020 is a Joe Biden/Kamala Harris ticket?

Old/Young
Old/New
East/West
Tall/Short
Light/Dark

[Gravitycollapse]

9. "Light/Dark"? So Harris is just a token black person to you?

[leftstreet]

12. Did you mean to say white/person of color?

[EffieBlack]

10. How come no one's telling Joe to go away, get off the stage, we need new blood, too establishment

too much baggage, flawed candidate, blah blah blah and other insulting put downs like we're hearing a certain previous presidential candidate (who actually won the election) being berated with?

[BannonsLiver]

13. Probably because they don't have to.

He's not going to run. The only reason his name comes up in these articles is because of intellectual laziness from whoever wrote it.

[EffieBlack]

14. Really? Joe hasn't taken a run off the table and gives his take on

things whenever he chooses - without any pushback at all.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

16. Because Joe Biden didn't lose an election to Donald Trump

If you're shooting on an open net and you instead walk off a pier six miles away and drown in three feet of water your credibility and appeal might suffer a little bit.

17. Wow

If you think that's an apt analogy, that speaks volumes ...

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

18. What can I say,

I 100% expected Hillary Clinton to lose the election and she lost the election, an election that should have been impossible to lose.
