Harris and Pete would be at 19% each, Biden 17% and Warren 16% if we didn't. Also our sample size is very low and not random. That said, the order is certainly different here. I am actually a bit surprised Warren is doing considerably better here than in real polls. Since Harris is doing well, better here than in the outside world, I am not sure sexism is the only thing to blame for Warren's poorer showing that I think she would have here. I don't know if it is electibility or what. I know I am undecided, in part, because I don't know who will and who won't be viable by the time I get to vote.

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