CBS Battleground Tracker shows Biden still considered the most electable Democrat, by a wide margin

(Thanks, DemocratSinceBirth, for that link, which I got from your posts about this new poll of battleground states.)

The relevant question about electability was under

Chances of beating Trump
Just your best guess... How would you describe Joe Biden's chances of beating Donald Trump, if he is the Democratic nominee?

They probably would win - Maybe they can win - They'd be a long shot to win

75% - 23% - 2%

That's question 11 in the poll.

Buttigieg (question 12)

26% - 54% - 20%

Harris (question 13)

46% - 46% - 8%

Sanders (question 14)

50% - 43% - 7%

Warren (question 15)

45% - 48% - 7%

Apparently the pollster didn't ask people to choose just one candidate they considered most electable. But it's clear that with 75% of those polled believing Biden probably would win against Trump -- and with his three closest rivals 25-30 points behind -- he's considered most electable.
