nothing else matters, Cha. As we've been screaming to the rooftops for weeks

So yes, I'm surprised that number isn't even higher. Unless there is a segment of Democrats deluding themselves that this will be easy-peasy, that any Dem candidate would kick the Trumpster and his enablers to the curb.

Which is completely wrong-headed. We need a resounding win, a complete repudiation that leaves no room for crying foul or any other dirty trick the Republicans will try to throw our way. As bad as Trump is (and he's historically the worst) he still has the advantage as an incumbent. Twisting his fingers and those of the GOP off the reins of power is going to require a Herculean effort.

Joe Biden is currently leading because he has his finger on the pulse of the majority. This poll is an indication of that. If that trend holds, he'll be the one to take it to Trump.

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