Warren and Biden lose ground, Sanders moves ahead in California's shifting 2020 Democratic race

Warren and Biden lose ground, Sanders moves ahead in California’s shifting 2020 Democratic race


https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-12-05/democrats-2020-race-california-poll

WASHINGTON — The Democratic presidential contest in California remains extremely fluid — but not enough, at least so far, to provide an opening for Michael Bloomberg, who entered the race two weeks ago and was banking on winning big in the delegate-rich state, a new poll for the Los Angeles Times has found.
The survey by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies found that both Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — the commanding front-runner in a September California poll — and former Vice President Joe Biden have lost ground among the state’s likely Democratic primary voters over the last two months.

That erosion has benefited Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who narrowly tops the primary field, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., who doubled his support since the September poll.

The poll was taken before California Sen. Kamala Harris dropped out of the race. It asked whom her supporters would name as their second choice if she quit and found that Warren and Biden would benefit the most. If Harris voters were reallocated based on those responses, the race would tighten at the top to Sanders, 25%; Warren, 24%; Biden, 17%; Buttigieg, 13%.

My concern is that he'll lose the Presidential and take the House majority down with him.

why do his supporters have to push an ONLINE poll?

Also...I only know one voter in all my family, friends, co-workers etc who is even leaning towards Sanders.

But hope springs eternal so...
