Sigh. More good news for Biden.

Yes, that is the Morning Consult poll that is always strong for Joe, but, as I always say...

The polls are what the polls are.

Well, at least I can console myself that my preferred candidate, Elizabeth Warren, is starting to have an upswing according to 538.

It's a start, but at least her mid-4th quarter decline is over, just in time for the first real voting in Iowa and New Hampshire!

1. I'd be happy with either of them.

My preferred candidate is Not Trump.

2. The critical way to look at the polls.

3. If there are still for real enough Americans to want world wide nuclear which we may be MINUTES

away from to reelect him, then I have to move.

4. I admire your fairness in posting these polls...and also,I noticed Warren's numbers had stabilized

in the 538 polls...and who knows what will happen when the voting starts.

8. Thank you.

I have a definite rooting interest, but my head is not in the sand.

Anyways, I find that G. Elliot Morris, data journalist for The Economist, often posts interesting insights into the state of the polling, so I like to share those.

9. I appreciate that. I like to read them also. I will happily vote for Warren should she be the

the nominee. and work for her campaign in anyway I can be of help.

5. I want anyone who can beat the current resident of the WH. Every day THAT becomes more

important. After this past week it's an emergency that he be replaced!

6. A compendium of High Quality National Polling

Shows the Primary Race at: Biden 29%... Bernie 21%.. Elizabeth 15% ... Buttigieg 8%... Bloomberg 6%...Yang 4 %

7. Yes, but worthless poll anyway. It's running a mostly unknown

and unscrutinized Sanders instead of the one the Republican and Russian character assassins would make of him. They don't just assassinate the real person, they're identity thieves who create a whole new identity and embed it in the brains of millions.

One of Biden's huge advantages is that those millions already know him and have known him for years, a long-familiar picture. That's why trying to depict him as a "creepy" molester failed so badly and quickly. People already knew it wasn't true, and the identity attack couldn't overcome that.

Sanders, though, is an almost empty white board for the swiftboaters to draw any picture they want on. And he's given them an appalling amount of material to work with.

10. +1

11. My take for the tiny bit it is worth is that EW cannot win, not because she is not a great candidate

but because the misogyny in this country is strong and seems to not be abating but getting stronger..

12. Thanks for posting.

13. The Economist model shows..:

Bernie rising but Biden rising as well.

The big question now is: who has the ground operation to make a story about doing well in Iowa.

[crazytown]

14. Buttigieg and Warren have not bragged about their ground games

like Obama did not in 2008. Tight NDAs. There are anecdotal reports they have taken things "to the next level" whatever that means.
