The Polls Have the Race Right


June 28, 2019 at 9:26 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Amy Walter: “Yes, 25 candidates are running for the nomination. But, only five to six of them are serious contenders for the nomination. The RealClearPolitics average shows that five candidates combined—Vice President Joe Biden, Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg—take between 71 percent to 76 percent of the vote in national and early state polling. Nothing that happened in these two debates changed that math.”

“Senator Cory Booker and former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro performed well in their Wednesday night debate. But, strong enough to break into the double digits—or overcome any of those five? I don’t see it.”

Right now, Booker and Castro are playing for VP roles.

Historically, I don't think there has ever been a huge "come from behind" win with a candidate in low single digits at this point magically soaring to the nomination?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
