Maryland Poll. Sanders. 24%, Biden 18% and Bloomberg 16%




Bernie has highest favorability, but All Dems do well.

Bernie beats Trump by most but All Dems do well against Trump.

Poll conducted Feb 13-19

Maryland Dems rock.

1. Bloomberg is a spoiler in my view, and conned a lot of folks, hurt Biden, and made it more likely

that Sanders will be the nominee

I detest what these arrogant rich candidates are doing. I feel similar to Steyer

the nominee. But the only one I cannot get behind is Bloomberg. He is an authoritarian like Trump with a mean streak and a self serving reason for getting into the race. I have zero trust in him and he actually frightens me. I’m more concerned about what he will do as far as SS and Medicare. This is a guy who used prison workers to make calls for him.

Let Biden, Sanders and the others fight for the nomination and let the voters choose. Billionaires should put their money to fix Flint’s water, relieve all children’s school lunch debt, etc.

betting on a total Biden collapse, which hasn't happened. He's just managed to weaken him enough to allow Bernie's relatively small but fervent support to take him to the front of the pack. I still think Biden wins head to head with Sanders, and i don't think it's all that close.

Bernie needs to just survive tonight because those who are so jealous of him are going to out to get him. Stay strong Bernie!

4. Maryland's primary isn't until the April 28th.

By the time we get to vote, the eventual nominee is a foregone conclusion.

Your preferred candidate may be on the ballot, but half the time, she/he has already dropped out.

So, the candidate preference of Marylanders really doesn't mean that much.

Maryland is very blue, but tends to favor establishment candidates. We also, for stupid reasons, like to elect Republican Governors.

I would have expected Biden or Bloomberg to dominate this state.
