Joe Biden's Lead is Sizable (But Shrinking) in New National Poll

[bluewater]

A day after a Monmouth University poll found longtime frontrunner Joe Biden trailing Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, an Emerson University poll has the former vice president on top by a comfortable margin.

Conducted between August 24th-26th with a 3.9 percent margin of error, the poll has 31 percent of Democratic primary voters favoring Biden, followed by Sanders (24 percent), Elizabeth Warren (15), Kamala Harris (10), and Andrew Yang (4). Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, and Tulsi Gabbard all drew 3 percent support; Beto O’Rourke drew 2 percent; and Amy Klobuchar, Julián Castro, and “Someone Else” all drew 1 percent. The rest of the field didn’t register a blip.

Though the 7-point gap between Biden and Sanders may seem like a comfortable margin, Emerson’s latest poll is yet another sign that Biden’s stranglehold on the primary may be weakening. Not only did Biden’s support drop 2 percentage points from the last time Emerson conducted a national poll in late July, Sanders gained 4 percentage points, closing the gap from 13 percentage points to 7 in less than a month.

1. I have lost track the number of threads started with the intention of putting Joe Biden down.

Personally I am trying to stay out of the threads about Bernie, I posted a very reasonable post a few minutes ago about him and will try to be fair to him from here on in even though I do NOt like him.

I do NOT expect the same from some folks

3. Would it be a putting Biden down if this same poll had Biden up 4 points?

Polls are going to be posted. You should use the trash by keyword using the word polls and you won't see these type of OPs.

4. It's a straight up article about a poll. Nothing derogatory about anyone in it.

No personal comments added either.

So, can't we post about current polling now?

2. Why is this poll showing that Warren is in third place? Just yesterday she was tied for first...

5. The polls are what the polls are.

6. Emerson has always been Bernie's best poll. nt
