The polls are steady... that is both good and bad for our top candidates..

The Democrats (not talking Independents here).. are settling in on who they want to support.. I have seen some talk that if you combine Sen Warren, and Sen Sanders you will have more votes than Biden alone.. it just does not work out that way..

Warren Supporters and Sanders Supporters are not going to automatically go stand in the line of the other if their choice does not get the nod.. (that is how we do it at caucuses).. hubby is in the Warren camp and will not stand in the Sanders line.. he will be going Biden. And that is true for everyone else running..

So as many have said.. this is early.. but the numbers are starting to harden up..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

And targeting a Jewish candidate?

Shame.

This does not sound like what Elizabeth Warren herself would post.

most just got kids off to school, and it’s NOT even November A YEAR before the election yet. Just saying, and I really wonder what the percentage of people is who don’t live and die by DU or any political talk shows??? I’m thinking lots don’t really care yet. JMHO.

Harris had a spike after the first debate, but that seems to be receding. Biden is holding more or less steady. Same with Bernie.
Warren has been slowly gaining ground.
Just like always, it's going to come down to who resonates with the Independents. I don't expect any Democrats who already have a candidate are going to switch until their preferred first choice either drops out or is obviously out of it.

Since 2008, the Independents haven't really broken for the status quo candidate. In 2008 they broke for Barack Obama and again in 2012. In 2016 They broke for Trump.
