"The poll finds a virtual three-way tie among Sanders (20%), Warren (20%), and Biden (19%) in the presidential nomination preferences of registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters across the country."

Monmouth reports.
Compared to Monmouth’s June poll, these results represent an increase in support for both Sanders (up from 14%) and Warren (up from 15%), and a significant drop for Biden (down from 32%). Results for the rest of the field are fairly stable compared to two months ago. These candidates include California Sen. Kamala Harris at 8% support (identical to 8% in June), New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker at 4% (2% in June), South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 4% (5% in June)....

Biden... lost ground with white Democrats (from 32% to 18%) and voters of color (from 33% to 19%), among voters without a college degree (from 35% to 18%) and college graduates (from 28% to 20%), with both men (from 38% to 24%) and women (from 29% to 16%), and among voters under 50 years old (from 21% to 6%) as well as voters aged 50 and over (from 42% to 33%). Most of Biden’s lost support in these groups shifted almost equally toward Sanders and Warren....
MEANWHILE:

UPDATE, the next morning: There's a new political poll from Politico that shows nothing of this new 3-way tie development. Biden's way ahead, as usual (with 33%), Sanders is firmly in second place (with 20%), and Warren is a solid third (with 15%).

Pathetic. But I don't think Biden is crazy; he's just older and not up to being rushed around to event after event. He gets tired easily. He's still the best candidate the Dems have. Although he'll lose, so will anyone else.

Mike Sylwester म्हणाले...

Biden... lost ground with ... voters of color (from 33% to 19%)

Biden's key strategy is to win the colored voters.

Harris upset that strategy when she revealed that Biden tried to prevent her from attending an integrated school when she was a little girl.

Biden is supposed to be making the racism accusations against his political opponents. It was not supposed to happen that his political opponents made racism accusations against him.

I think Biden would have been Trump's easiest opponent in 2020. A majority of the Bernie Bros would have set the election out with Biden as the nominee. They may back Warren though, and she may be able to hold the middle. Bernie can't do that. Warren seems to be the Dems best chance, but she will have to tack back to the center in the general very carefully.

The Godfather म्हणाले...

Biden made the right decision not to run in 2016, but that was his best shot at the presidency. As for 2020? No, he's not really a moderate, but he's played one on TV for decades, and there's nobody else (no credible candidate) who can make a plausible claim to being a moderate Democrat. And that's what the Democrats need to win.

Think about that. In today's Democrat Party, would Truman have a chance of getting the nomination? ANY Kennedy? Johnson? Carter? Bill Clinton? Hillary Clinton?

I still think Michelle Obama is their best hope (and only if she runs a silent campaign (i.e., appears only on Oprah and The View).

Lizzie actually has brains, though no charm. She will be an easy second choice for the Sanders acolytes. Unless someone else makes inroads with minorities, she can cruise.

Question for Althouse: you say you want someone ethical, competent, and hard-working, who expresses American values. Let's grant the hard-working. Do you believe that Warren is ethical, competent, and faithful to American values?

There is much speculation that up until last week the Chinese believed Biden would be the nominee and could easily defeat Trump.

With LLR Chuck's beloved Biden collapsing like a wet noodle suddenly the Chinese are making nice guy noises again.

Looks like someone in Beijing is reevaluating Trump's improving reelection prospects....(which also explains LLR Chuck's transparent flop sweat desperation)...

If you've listened to a rambling Joe Biden "interrogation" of Bork, Thomas, or Alioto, you know that Joe isn't going Senile. He's just as stupid as he ever was. "Slow Joe" has always been protected by the MSM, and his prior runs for the POTUS were cut-off due to gaffes, plagiarism, and lack of interest. This is the "real Joe". Exposed to the national spotlight, with the other D's attacking him, not protecting him.

stevew म्हणाले...

All he had to do was not fuck up, and he fucked up. He campaigned way more than he had to in an attempt to disprove Trump's "Sleepy Joe" moniker. But he's not running against Trump, he's running against Warren and Sanders and the rest of the clowns. Make minimal appearances. Appear electable. Appear competent and articulate. That's all he had to do. Now's he's irreparably damaged the best thing he had going. Odds are good that he's done. Kinda like the Red Sox and the playoffs.

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

The Red Sox are showing some signs of life, and there is still 5 weeks of the regular season left. They can still make it to the playoffs, but they have no chance of winning the division.

Mr. O. Possum म्हणाले...

I saw Biden speak recently and was close enough to him to touch the button holes on the sleeve of his bespoke suit.

Talk of his mental decline is way exaggerated and likely fueled by his opponents.

He delivered a speech via teleprompter for about 20-25 minutes and then fielded questions for an hour. Yes, he moved slowly, but he looked fit and trim, and with the exception of one brief slip, he was most coherent and often passionate.

I came away impressed, and I'm a very strong Trump supporter.

He can get closer to the political center than any other candidate, and that's why he might get the nod.

That said, however, I don't think that he or any of the other Democratic candidates can beat Trump.

Drago म्हणाले...

Mark: "To all of you bad-mouthing Joe Biden -- Shut up.

The Chinese, Russians and Iranians certainly believe corrupt 5-deferment chickenhawk Joe is better than us.

Thats why the Chinese gave Hunter Biden a sweet sweet $Billion+ cash infusion for his family slush fund "Investment" Group AND Russian backed energy oligarchs in Ukraine threw millions more to Hunter after little Joey used the power of his office to threaten the Ukrainian Govt with US govt financial retaliation if they didnt quash an investigation into those oligarchs.

BTW, this is what LLR Chuck might term a "dream-perfect" non-corrupt scenario!!

Beasts of England म्हणाले...

With three significant front runners - twenty percent each - I think the analysis is who the primary voters break to as their favorite candidates drop out. Biden is the moderate of the three, but will he attract enough from the other forty percent to remain in the hunt? Is the combined support of Warren and Bernie the maximum traction for the hard left? It may be too soon to divvy up the pie, but the next debate will be must see tv.

Clyde म्हणाले...

In other news, 100% of registered Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters are in favor of bad ideas, because that's what all of the remaining 20-odd Democrat candidates (and Independent Socialist Bernie) have on offer. If they had good ideas, they'd be Republicans. And that's all that I have to say about that.

Silly poll. Not that I like any of them, but just plain silly.

rcocean म्हणाले...

From 1988 AP:

Biden released his law school records showing he had graduated 76th in a law school class of 85. In the videotape, Biden went on to say, ″I went to Syracuse law school on a full academic scholarship.″ The records he released last week indicated he had a $800 scholarship from the school out of a total tuition of $1,620.

"Slow Joe" - always Slow.

Except for meeting debate standards, national polls are meaningless. All that matters is how they are polling in Iowa, and the first 4-5 sates.

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

"I think the analysis is who the primary voters break to as their favorite candidates drop out"

I think the supporters of Booker, Harris, Buttuvwxyz, DeBlasio, Gabbard, Gillibrand etc. are likely to go in vast preference to Warren or Sanders. I just can't imagine a supporter of one of these candidates going for Joe Biden. A lot might just sit it out once their preferred candidate drops out.

As stated by others, Biden is the most well-known of the all the candidates, and supposedly the "moderate/establishment" choice. And yet he only has 20-30%. Which indicates 70-80% know about him, and don't want him. Definitely an opportunity for the challengers.

Smart move by Trump. Reminds me how he got Bush to wear himself out trying to prove he was not Low Energy Jeb. The more he flailed the quicker he gassed out*

*For those unfamiliar with the term, gassed out is when your limbs go weak because your are not delivering enough oxygen to your muscles. You see it alot with MMA fighters who come out thrashing hard and then peter out. Or if you have ever climbed several flights of stairs and felt your thigh muscles turn to jello.

And this is the key reason I like Trump: He fights. The GOP has a bad pattern of refusing to even get on the field. If you forfeit and never make your opponent take the field, even when you have no chance of winning, you rob yourself of the opportunity to force them to make own goals, as Warren did by performing a DNA test. Or as Biden has done by making multiple gaffs "after 5 PM" trying to prove he wasn't Sleepy Joe.

Fen म्हणाले...

Yah, the more I think about it the more like this seems like a fake poll designed to get the "conversation" started about pulling Biden out.

Can't let the "Democratic" Party make it's own decision.

Which reminds me, why is Bernie even running this time around? Did he not understand the DNC last time around? They will only steal the nomination from him again.
