[FloridaBlues]

[onetexan]

29. No doubt! Joe's back in the 30s again.

way to go Uncle Joe!

BTW i'm not rooting for Joe for prez. I'm rooting for his wife to be FLOTUS

[ritapria]

3. They can't very well ignore the results of their own poll , Can they ?

The results showing Warren crushing it get lavish attention ...The pro - Biden Polls ? …..Crickets …….Don't worry Warren supporters , You/Guv Economist will soon report their weekly survey and all will be right with the world ...We Bernie supporters have settle for obscure Emerson College for our polling succor …...

[Kahuna7]

4. You are correct on all accounts.

[Thekaspervote]

5. Joe is on the move in the polls with an upward trajectory!

[oasis]

6. I can get used to this. Joe's the One.

[highplainsdem]

7. K&R!

[LincolnRossiter]

8. That's awesome. It appears as though all of the political obituaries written about our candidate

were a tad premature.

[peggysue2]

9. This has been a grand week for Joe!

The polls this week have really been good news for Joe Biden. And his endless obituaries? Premature.

Keep beating that Drum!

[PupCamo]

26. that's 1% way too much

[Scurrilous]

11. K&R

[Gothmog]

12. These polling results make me smile

13. Remember everyone, this is POST-DEBATE, where Biden presumably "stumbled".....

Doing some quick math: Biden 34%, Warren PLUS Sanders 35%.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. Just heard an analyst say you can't add Warren and Sanders together. Not the same demographic.

Warren has more college educated and progressive supporters. Bernie has more non-college educated moderate supporters.

[madville]

23. Very telling on the issues deeper in the polling data

Who would handle the Economy better:
Biden 38
Sanders 19
Warren 16

Who would handle health care better:
Biden 31
Sanders 28
Warren 17

[PupCamo]

27. you honestly think that the bern bros will support Warren

she's been tossed under the bern bus a long time ago

[Peacetrain]

14. Just feeling it in the air yesterday... something good was on the way

The Trumpster has met his match and his name is Joe Biden... its true, everything Trump touches does die, but for whatever reason, his evil touch just bounces of Joe Biden and there he is.. as strong as ever.. gotta love it

[MineralMan]

15. Well, that can't be right. We've been told that Warren is surging into the lead.

Whatabout that Economist poll?

Besides, there's a reason that CNN poll has a minus after the A, you know. It's obviously a worthless poll, and we shouldn't pay any attention to it.

Biden is plummeting in the polls! That's what I hear.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. This is great news! Time to rally around him! We desperately need a de facto leader before

Election!

[emmaverybo]

21. Yes!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. And pick a cool young whippersnapper VP. Who do u like?

[emmaverybo]

31. Someone on his same page, as he has said, loyal as he was to Obama. Keisha Bottoms, but she's

got a city to run. Susan Rice, but I am guessing she would not like playing second fiddle. I suspect many he might ask wouldn’t. You?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Beto first for TX,. Katie Porter - Orange County- swing?

Maybe Swallwell? I like Corey Booker and Yang too. But Booker too quick jumping on Franken... sanctimonious?

[emmaverybo]

33. Not Corey--gets too yeah sanctimonious, drama king. Wow Katy Porter so bright, accomplished.

Her marriage...horrible. She is some survivor.

[Green Line]

18. I wonder if MSNBC will show this

They only show the polls that fit their narrative. They've beat Joe up more than any other media outlet.

[Demsrule86]

19. I have not believed in certain 'surges'. The questions were wonky and voters samples often

contrived to produce a certain result. I believe Biden will be the nominee and will destroy Trump in the general.

[DavidDvorkin]

20. Warren surges into the lead!

No, wait, I meant to say it's a tie!

[LeftTurn3623]

22. and these should be

the only candidates on the stage next debate

[OldRed2450]

25. Great news!

The nation needs a steady experienced hand to deal with all the clean up we will be needing.

[evertonfc]

28. Biden

is going to be the nominee due to his ability to expand the map. Florida especially. Hit jobs won't work because we have known him for 8 years. He's not my first choice but he will be the nominee

[Gothmog]

30. The most important number in the CNN 2020 poll isn't the one you think it is

You can not win the Democratic nomination without significant African American voter support

Biden is ahead because he is consolidating his support among non-white voters, a key voting bloc among whom he already had a very clear edge over his primary rivals.
Here's how the numbers by race break out in the new CNN poll:
Whites

Biden 27%
Warren 23%
Sanders 15%

Non-Whites

Biden 42%
Sanders 16%
Warren 13%

That's striking stuff. And while Biden has long led among non-white voters, his support has surged since earlier this fall when he was taking just 28% of their vote in a hypothetical Democratic primary ballot.
Why is his support among non-white voters -- and the suggestion that support is increasing as actual votes near -- so important for Biden and his chances? Because non-whites have been the decisive voting bloc in each of the recent contested Democratic presidential primaries. In 2008, Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton because of his massive edge over her among black voters. Eight years later, Clinton beat Sanders because she crushed him among African Americans and Hispanics.

34. Another poll with Biden leading by 10%
