I think it is in fact name recognition as well as familiarity. marylandblue Jun 2019 #3
The fact he is in the mid 30's and in the 40's in some polls Peacetrain Jun 2019 #7
Depending upon the poll, Biden's support exceeds the next three, four, or five candidates combined. George II Jun 2019 #11
True that.. I do not have the polls in front of me! Peacetrain Jun 2019 #15
In the two most recent polls on RCP, Sanders+Warren are beating him. marylandblue Jun 2019 #34
You appear to be living in the past FBaggins Jun 2019 #78
You are right..I was wrong.. 40% is old.. it was 53% as of 6/11/2019 Peacetrain Jun 2019 #79
That's great news if he runs against Trump FBaggins Jun 2019 #80
We'll see what happens.. that is what primaries and caucuses are for.. Peacetrain Jun 2019 #81
That's a big assumption unsupported by recent history. FBaggins Jun 2019 #82
So has Sanders and Warren....no Biden can win. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #86
Biden has the mist, by far, sanders 2nd most, Warren 3rd marylandblue Jun 2019 #89
I agree. But it's also very much how electable people believe he is. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #4
Right about that.. Peacetrain Jun 2019 #9
Obama ran against McCain in 2008, not Bush. Bush was gone in any case. Demit Jun 2019 #21
I know it was McCain..but people were energized about getting rid of the republican party Peacetrain Jun 2019 #28
To me, that is THE MAJOR concern for 2020 TruckFump Jun 2019 #16
Cannot disagree with you a second there Peacetrain Jun 2019 #19
I have more... complicated idea of what is happening, and it is not reflected in the polls yet. marylandblue Jun 2019 #25
Good analysis. BlueWI Jun 2019 #43
Maybe... loyalsister Jun 2019 #5
Where I think (again this is my personal opinion) Peacetrain Jun 2019 #13
Could be loyalsister Jun 2019 #22
Oh yes PatSeg Jun 2019 #24
and I have little doubt Biden will choose woman as VP AlexSFCA Jun 2019 #52
I would bet money on that PatSeg Jun 2019 #58
He's smart enough to actually USE what Warren would bring to the table, too The Mouth Jun 2019 #70
Oh, I can picture it PatSeg Jun 2019 #74
I don't think he will. He is above 70 and polls clearly show a bias against women Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #87
Yes, I may be guilty of that. But I don't mind being wrong, it's part of the fun. marylandblue Jun 2019 #29
Maybe it has to do with experience and doesn't need on the job training? FloridaBlues Jun 2019 #6
Yep good point Peacetrain Jun 2019 #10
I think it has a lot to do with it.. Cha Jun 2019 #46
I will go with experience liberal N proud Jun 2019 #12
Amen to that! Peacetrain Jun 2019 #14
The going backwards thing is a metaphor for something else that isn't Obama's fault marylandblue Jun 2019 #30

Of course we have to have the best, but we can't know who that is yet. marylandblue Jun 2019 #32
Jimmy Carter was at 1% at this point when he won Indygram Jun 2019 #23
Because the people they poll aren't DUers? MineralMan Jun 2019 #26
This. He's popular among more Americans at this point than the other candidates. It is difficult emmaverybo Jun 2019 #48
That's a good analysis, I think. MineralMan Jun 2019 #51

MSNBC pundits and some candidates keep saying we shouldn't try to attract Kahuna7 Jun 2019 #36
We need as many different types of voters as possible. democratisphere Jun 2019 #56
Agree heartily. At our peril we dismiss this fact. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #49
Agreed. democratisphere Jun 2019 #55
I don't know. This might have something to do with it... Kahuna7 Jun 2019 #35

There is a lot of truth to that. mtnsnake Jun 2019 #73
Thank you Faux pas Jun 2019 #75
Name recognition plus association with Obama. But only Sanders would have name recognition pnwmom Jun 2019 #38
Yeah, you keep saying that like Biden doesn't Cha Jun 2019 #61
You keep saying that like Warren, Harris, Booker, Klobuchar, and Inslee don't have the experience pnwmom Jun 2019 #63
No, you're putting words in my mouth.. Cha Jun 2019 #64
Warren's name recognition is nearly 100%. TwilightZone Jun 2019 #66
You mean Trump mocking her as Pocahontas? That's not name recognition. pnwmom Jun 2019 #68
Sure it is and it clearly shows the danger if she runs. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #88
She's been risking as Sanders has been dropping because voters are listening. pnwmom Jun 2019 #91
This says it all for me... WinstonSmith4740 Jun 2019 #40

I think it's real simple: he's the favorite noiretextatique Jun 2019 #62
I think he still has the lead because we haven't had debates yet. aikoaiko Jun 2019 #65
A neighbor of mine put it this way, "America needs a proven leader, not a trainee..." Skya Rhen Jun 2019 #76
Comfort zone. Once voters become more comfortable with the OTHER candidates, Biden won't be leading mtnsnake Jun 2019 #72
