(11,972 posts)...but I will be curious to see if polls still show him to be in that position 7 or 8 months from now when we start having primaries, after all the debates and campaigning between now and then. If he is no longer the decisive leader in this respect, I wonder whether the Biden supporters who base their support largely on this may shift, i.e. if polls are showing that other candidates are as strong or even stronger than Biden in these three states in terms of how they fare when pitted against Trump.
I could easily see my support shifting away from Buttigieg to someone else if others seem to be notably stronger than him against Trump when primary day comes. Biden would be a bit of a tough sell, as there are probably a half dozen other candidates I prefer. But for example, as a left-leaner, I could easily switch to Warren or Sanders, if one of them looks to beat Trump more decisively. But Biden isn't out of the question. If polls next year show him as the ONLY candidate who is beating Trump in those states, I would switch to him.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
