Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)Biden leads among African-Americans, but Harris gains significantly [View all]
Biden still leads with 36%, while Kamala Harris comes in with 24%. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders follow with 12% and 9% respectively. Warren and Sanders are about where they were in a combination of our April and May samples.
Biden's advantage though has definitely ebbed over the last few months. In our April and May combined samples, Biden led the pack among African-Americans with 49%.
Meanwhile, Harris was all the way back in fourth place with 6%. In other words, she's jumped about 20 points.
Harris' gain follows a significant uptick in endorsements from black lawmakers. Harris now leads Biden in endorsements from Congressional Black Caucus members.

And that was the plan--to "paint him as a segregationist." The final set piece moved into place

While that was how it appeared on the surface, I saw something more important

Biden agreed not to attack other Dems... which he honored. To say he won't be able to take trump

You are entitled to your opinion. Seems at least right now the polls don't reflect that
