Just the facts ma’am.
He still has a strong lead.
It is a substantial drop, though, from a month ago.

Not saying Joe can't win... obviously, he can. But, maybe, just maybe, contrary to what some might think, there actually will be a primary race in 2020... and that's a GOOD THING for our democracy!!

May the best candidate win!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

6. So the loss of enthusiasm for Biden isn't a result of anything his opponents did.

This poll has usually showed him (and Warren and Harris) lower than most others.

edited to add

followed by California Sen. Kamala Harris with 8%, 7% for Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and 5% each for South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke.

10. Biden still has a 14% lead, nearly double the support for Sanders, quadruple the support

for Harris, more than quadruple the support for anyone else.

You have to combine the support for the three candidates closest to Biden to surpass the support for him, and then it's only 1% higher.

Has his lead shrunk slightly since his announcement? Yes -- it usually does in the weeks after candidates announce.

Has it shrunk less than most pundits, and supporters of the other candidates, were expecting? Also yes.

Is it still a commanding lead?

Hell, yes.

And that's a BFD.
