Biden holds double-digit lead in Democratic primary

Former Vice President Joe Biden holds a double-digit lead against his closest rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination. But there are signs Biden's support may be slipping, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill.

The poll showed Biden with 28 percent support among registered Democratic voters, a 4-point drop since last month when a similar survey showed him at 32 percent. He’s trailed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who registered 17 percent and 16 percent, respectively.

No other candidate registered double digits. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), the fourth-place finisher in the poll, notched 6 percent, while three other candidates, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) and entrepreneur Andrew Yang, tied for fifth place with 3 percent each.

Only three others, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer, registered above 1 percent in the poll, taking 2 percent support each.
