I'd forgotten about that when the national Monmouth poll showing Biden trailing Sanders and Warren -- and obviously an outlier -- came out a couple of days ago.
This is one of the articles referring to the NYT story last week about Biden's alleged "enthusiasm gap":

Emphasis added.
I still feel it's probably most likely that Monmouth just screwed up the way all pollsters occasionally make mistakes, in coming up with poll results so different from what other pollsters were finding.
But the very, shall we say, ENTHUSIASTIC way Murray describes what he says is a lack of enthusiasm among Biden supporters
I did not meet one Biden voter who was in any way, shape or form excited about voting for Biden
has me wondering now whether he might have been so happy with the outlier results from his last poll that he might not have considered whether it was simply a badly done poll.
And I'm still amazed that he spent any time in Iowa and met any Biden voters without meeting even ONE who was "in any way, shape or form" excited about voting for Biden.

(58,785 posts)As said, this is damning: "I did not meet one Biden voter who was in any way, shape or form excited about voting for Biden." Not a chance that could reflect reality there, because it doesn't even here in Georgia.
Also trying to smear Biden as "centrist."
A guest anchor this morning on First Look didn't just try to portray Biden as a centrist but spoke as if a big bloc of Democrats were "centrists." The usual RW and antiDemocrat-left synergy at work -- hit 'em from both sides with the same lies.
The Axios analyst wouldn't have it, though, and said flat out there were no centrists in the race. He meant among the viable candidates, of course. They're all solid liberal Democrats, and that's WHY they're viable.
