Joe Biden Edges Past Bernie Sanders in New National Poll (and he hasn't even declared yet!)

This should make Biden supporters happy:

Joe Biden Edges Past Bernie Sanders in New National Poll
by CARRIE DANN

Vice President Joe Biden has edged past Bernie Sanders in a new national poll of Democratic voters, while Hillary Clinton continues to lead the Democratic field but has lost ground since last month.

The new Monmouth University poll shows that 42 percent of Democrats back Clinton, 22 percent support Biden and 20 percent favor Sanders.

Bernie has actually gained. Beyond Biden edging past Bernie, the real story here is more evidence that hill is a disaster.

most of Bernie supporters support him for the issues. there are a few that have chosen him as an alternative to Clinton. my coworker is one, but he's becoming more disenchanted with Biden everyday it seems.

when the media seems to choose a favorite for us before he's even announced his running.

the powers that be really want you to look away from Bernie and drop Hillary.
