IPSOS/Reuters Poll: Biden 23%, Sanders 20%, Warren 15%, Bloomberg 8%, Buttigieg 7% [View all]

Washington, DC, January 10, 2020 — A new public opinion poll shows that Senator Bernie
Sanders and Former Vice President Joe Biden are the top contenders for the 2020 presidential
nomination. Among Democratic registered voters, Biden (23%) maintains an edge over Sanders
(20%) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (15%). Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg (8%) and former
Mayor Pete Buttigieg (7%) round out the top five candidates in the race for the Democratic
nomination. Among Democrats and independents, Sanders (17%) has a slight lead over Biden
(15%), and Warren (10%) maintains her third-place position. Buttigieg (5%) and Bloomberg (6%) are
statistically tied among Democrats and independents. All other candidates receive 3% of the vote
share or less among Democrats and independents and Democratic registered voters.

When asked about the most important candidate traits that factor into who they decide to vote for,
Democratic registered voters were most likely to say that the ability to beat President Trump in the
general election (42%) was the most important consideration for them. The next most important traits
were strong positions on healthcare (11%) and the economy and jobs (11%).

Your narrative rather conveniently leaves out Al Gore, crazytown Jan 2020 #20
Al Gore won the south, won the popular vote, and was cheated out of the electoral college Sloumeau Jan 2020 #21
The election was close enough to steal, crazytown Jan 2020 #22
First, let me clarify something. Sloumeau Jan 2020 #24
I suppose I should clarify something as well. crazytown Jan 2020 #26
When I talk about the South, I am not just talking about Florida Sloumeau Jan 2020 #28

You have to look at the polling data.... getagrip_already Jan 2020 #37
I'm not sweating anything. It's just that the polling breakdowns don't make sense. Nanjeanne Jan 2020 #41
