How United Are Democrats? A 96-0 Data Point Offers a Hint

Polling shows Biden is not facing any serious defections from his left flank.


Democrats who said Elizabeth Warren, right, was their top choice to be the Democratic nominee are now backing Joe Biden against President Trump, 96 percent to 0 percent. That’s an even bigger margin than among those who backed Mr. Biden during the primary.

Joe Biden has emerged from a contested Democratic primary with surprising party unity and without any serious threat on his left flank, according to New York Times/Siena College polls of the six battleground states likeliest to decide the presidency.

Over all, voters in the battleground states who said Bernie Sanders was their top choice for president said they backed Mr. Biden over President Trump, 87 percent to 4 percent. If there was a Bernie-or-Bust movement, it has either faded with the conclusion of the Democratic race, or it never existed in serious numbers in the battleground states.

Mr. Biden commands even more significant support from voters who supported Elizabeth Warren in the primary. The Democrats who said she was their top choice to be the Democratic nominee backed Mr. Biden over Mr. Trump by a staggering margin of 96 percent to 0 percent — even wider than Mr. Biden’s 96-1 lead among those who said he was their top choice in the Democratic primary.
...

Remarkably, the challenge Mr. Biden faces from the party’s left is difficult to distinguish from the challenge he faces from the center. Together, the supporters of Pete Buttigieg, Michael Bloomberg and Amy Klobuchar back Mr. Biden by 87-6. But these voters represent a smaller share of the Democratic electorate than the supporters of Ms. Warren and Mr. Sanders, and few would argue that Mr. Biden faces any serious challenge among moderate Democrats.

Excellent!

In November we ALL will toss Trump in the dumpster.

1. There was an article on here the other day that even Black voters preferred Elizabeth Warren

as Biden's VP pick.

I really wish she would be our VP. If not her, then Susan Rice. But Warren first. There is some serious work to be done, and Elizabeth Warren has the brains and energy to get it done.
