Morning Consult poll: Biden is more electable than Sanders
New poll from Morning Consult for June 27, 2019:
-> Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is less popular among registered voters than the former VP in 8 key 2020 states, including Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
-> Unlike the lesser-known top contenders in the race, opinions about Sanders are already well-formed, giving him less room to increase his appeal to voters.
-> But he has a big thing going for him: In many key battleground states, voters who dislike President Donald Trump outnumber those who support him.
***
*How to read the Morning Consult chart*:
The higher the dots are, the more popular. The further to the right, the more well-known.
This is good news for Biden (well-known, liked). Warren, Harris & Buttigieg (not as known = room to grow), not great for Sanders.

[quote]“The big takeaway from this data is that Biden is clearly more electable than Sanders,” Rachel Bitecofer, assistant director of the Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University, said in an interview last week, adding that it bolstered “the perception that this election is the Democrats’ to lose unless they nominate Sanders.”

OMG! It's the 2019 Poll Troll! I was wondering where you were and here you are, yay!
That's all, really, just happy to see you are posting again this cycle and, obviously, not authenticating with a year because that could change.
Wait, are you the REAL Poll Troll, our usual Poll Troll?

Hi, R3 (aka 'fuckoff').
Yes, I am the same Poll Troll.
Since 2012 I have been putting the year in my handle name, but as you correctly guessed, I decided to just use 'Poll Troll' when I authenticated this month so that I wouldn't have to change it again in 6 months.

Earlier today, a reporter asked Biden if he was going to fight with his opponents and he said he'll hug them. That's touchy feely Joe for ya.

Well Poll Troll we are glad to have you here, as always!
You have your work cut out for you this cycle, I'm sure. It's going to be a barn-burner.
