***BREAKING CNN POLL*** Biden 28% Sanders 20% Harris 12% Beto 11% Harris jumps 8 points !

[DemocratSinceBirth]

(CNN)An 8-point jump in support for California Sen. Kamala Harris stands out in a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS that shows a field of four in double digits in the race for the Democratic nomination for president.

Former Vice President Joe Biden (28%) and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (20%) continue to hold the top slots in the large Democratic field. Harris now stands at 12% support among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, up from 4% in December, and the latest entrant to the field -- former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke -- stands at 11%.
Harris's rise comes across the board -- there is no major demographic group in which she lost support since December -- but her gains are more pronounced among Democrats (+10 points) than independents (+5), liberals (+10) more than moderates or conservatives (+7), women (+9) more than men (+6), and racial and ethnic minorities (+10) more than whites (+6).

2. So How Is Kirsten Gillibrand Doing

A lot of Al Franken fans are wondering if the Party’s voters will give her her due reward.

3. Harris, Sanders, Booker and Warren are thrilled that Gillibrand is taking the heat

for something they did as well ... called for Franken's resignation.

6. There are a lot of important items in a campaign.

One I was looking at this morning is the "endorsement primary" where Booker and Harris are tied in the leading position. One of the most important part of a campaign. Those two in the President and Vice President positions would be awesome to me. 'Course I'd love to have Harris as the President.

Very Interesting.. something to keep track of!

10. Keep and eye on the markets too.

These are serious endeavors and not bunk.

Harris, Sanders and Biden are running even as the top three, but it is so, so early.

12. It is so early.. I want

Kamala, Beto, and Biden as top three Dems!.

Mahalo!

7. so IMO, once things kick off, both Biden and Sanders are going to lose at least some

supporters.

Where those supporters go will be interesting.

If Biden drops, it could go to Sanders which would buttress him from any supporters he drains to other candidates.
If Sanders drops, it could do the reverse.

Or both could lose supporters and drain them off to one or more of the other candidates.
I think this primary is going to take awhile to shake out.

9. CNN is interesting

"An 8-point jump in support for California Sen. Kamala Harris stands out in a new CNN Poll"......

She has been polling at between 10-15% in every poll since early February but they make it sound like breaking news lol.

Bernie "stands out" and "climbed" +6% in the same set of polls, no mention at all

BTW, Beto "climbed" 2% in the same polls, from 9% to 11%.

11. 4% for Harris in December is not a representative number

She was always higher than that...double digit likelihood on all the prediction markets beginning early 2018
