22. Unfortunately for Joe, polls this early just don't mean a thing, and history bears that out.

Besides, the only reason he is polling this high is because he was leading in the polls BEFORE he even entered the race due to name recognition only and having the luxury of riding Obama's coat tails, and hardly anyone in this country had even heard of so many of our other candidates at that time. Then when he finally announced, his numbers remained high only because people jumped on the Poll Bandwagon because they still weren't familiar with the others. Joe's poll numbers will be entering into a free fall soon enough, which will be a good thing for us because he is the candidate most likely to lose to Trump, IMO.

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