Harris 45%).

That's the number of Democrats who said each candidate would "probably beat Donald Trump."

Interestingly, 11% of Republicans also told the pollster that Biden would probably beat Trump. (For the other top candidates. that was 8% or less.)

26% of independents thought Biden would probably beat Trump. It was the same number for Sanders, and 22% for Warren.

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

I am surprised that indies are giving Biden such low odds versus Rump Celerity Aug 2019 #7

Indies are giving all our candidates low odd. highplainsdem Aug 2019 #9

well, I think that giving Bernie a 26% to beat Trump is too high, but that is just me Celerity Aug 2019 #10
