After a good week of polling Joe Biden regains the lead in The Economist's Poll tracker:

Yep, Biden now +2 at 25% to Warren at 24%.

the polls are what the polls are

Warren avoiding answering how she plans to fund Medicare for All seems to have had a decided post debate impact.

1. I would not jump to any conclusions from a statistically insignificant one point lead.

But I do agree that Warren does need to flesh out her policy position a bit more. And I think she will.

2. The Economist's tracker model is very robust

and does not over respond to individual polls, it takes several good polls to move the meter, so to speak.

A 2% lead there is much more significant than even a 3-4% lead at RCP Polls.

the polls are what the polls are

Time will tell if her soon to be released plan for funding Medicare for All will change things.

3. I'm anxious to see the details in her plan as well. n/t
