"SNIP.....

A new Economist/YouGov poll found 65% of Democratic voters said Joe Biden would “probably beat Donald Trump” — unchanged from June. But the number saying the same thing about Elizabeth Warren jumped 14 points since then, to 57%, the highest of any other candidate.

In the overall race, Biden led Warren by just 1 point among Democrats in a match-up with Trump. That’s after being 16 points ahead of her in June, according to the poll.

1. Thank you for the update!

2. I'd rather see this kind of a post from an "Undecided"

who has no dog in the fight rather than a partisan supporter on a candidate who will neither hear no believe anything wrong about that person.

3. I do have a fav, but certainly looking at other candidates

Here’s a N.H. poll that I don’t believe has been posted anywhere on where the candidates stand on beating the dotard

Biden 53% (+13)
Trump 40%
________
Sanders 51% (+10)
Trump 41%
________
Buttigieg 49% (+7)
Trump 42%
________
Warren 49% (+5)
Trump 44%

Harris 47% (+3)

4. All that matters

is who can win the Electoral College which means state by state and beat trump?

5. Every candidate faces that challenge.

Warren and Sanders are quite strong in Wisconsin and Minnesota, which is a state we better stop taking for granted. They're both purplish states with a progressive lean among active Democrats. I don't think the national party fully gets this yet.
