NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former Vice President Joe Biden expanded his lead over more than a dozen other candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination this month as U.S. House Democrats looked into allegations that President Donald Trump tried to pressure a foreign leader to investigate him, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.

preferences since January and onward. It is extremely volatile.

When the field narrows down to four or five candidates I think we will have a better sense of where things are going

It's an "all adults" poll.

Biden generally does best in "likely voter" poll. "Registered voter" polls have tended to be better for Warren lately. This one brings in a more general sample even then that, so the fact that it has Biden ahead should really make people question the Biden falling take. This sample should be more better for Warren, honestly.

That's also why there is such a high number of undecided. A higher proportion of n in this poll will end up not voting than others.

primary today, I would vote for:
