*Iowa Caucus Poll* shows Biden lead; Kamala 2nd; Bernie down

Thanks, Poll Troll. I know it's likely too early but any guesses as to whether this is a temporary bounce or something that's likely to stick?

Bernie is so finished. He's got nowhere left to grow and he's already sliding.

Bye Bernie!

Who knew he's only interesting when he's positioned as Hillary's foe? I sure did.

Biden-Harris for the win.

Bye Bye Bernie.

New piece today from my polling boyfriend, Harry Enten:

[quote]Bernie Sanders 2020 is in big trouble

I like Elizabeth Warren. She's not getting as much press since she was in the debate on the first night and not the second night with all the cool kids.

Who do you think is more electable: Warren or Harris?

[quote]It doesn't seem like there is a reservoir of support available for Sanders either. A mere 6% of likely caucusgoers say he is their second choice. All told, only 14% list him as a first or second choice.

Killer part.

She got near-constant coverage for a month and a half before the first debate. I'm glad someone else is getting the spotlight now.

I think they both have different problems with electability among different groups. So it's hard to tell this early.

Bernie Sanders doesn't look presidential at all. Not even an ounce.

Personally, I always thought that Sanders had a pretty hard ceiling in the Democratic primary. He started out as the front-runner but I wasn't convinced that there was a lot of room to grow, given the number of really good alternatives and the hard dislike among many Democratic primary voters.

He's not out of it yet, of course, as he's got name recognition and is sitting on a lot of cash, but where is his growth going to come from? He's running a repeat of his 2016 campaign but without the anti-Hillary crowd to bolster him.

Yeah, that's the real news--Bernie's done. Biden needs a team that doesn't leak and knows how to spin and he needs more discipline, but he can come back, since he's still well-liked.

I think a Biden/Harris ticket would do better than a Biden/Warren ticket. Biden would have the easiest time in the general, but might not get through the primary.

glad that old assshole spoiler sanders is sinkin like a thick turdy

Good riddance to the spitting old geezer. He is yesterday's news.

Sick of him and his ragaholic bros

If Bernie loses Iowa and NH, which he will, then he needs to get out of the race. If he insists on staying in and being a disruptor, then the female candidates should band together and attack him for it.

"New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan and California Rep. Eric Swalwell – failed to attract a single supporter in the Iowa survey. "

Can they exit from the race and go back to doing their current jobs, and no more debates for them please.

r17 Seriously.

I wish Hickenlooper would just run for Senate in Colorado.

R19, here's a new article today on the Hickenlooper issue:
