(56,848 posts)I thought Harris would have scored higher.
Looks like Sanders is in a good position

(58,724 posts)Not far behind Harris.
Booker, Brown, Klobuchar, Gillibrand are at 1% (essentially tied with Gabbard).

(7,117 posts)On MSNBC, Steve Kondracke was doing a "Big Board" bit on the unreliability of early polls, showing who the leaders were in years past, few of whom ended up the nominee.
For example, if we believed polls this early before the 2004 election, we'd be girding our loins for a Joe Lieberman presidency.

(26,021 posts)They were unknown to most Americans , but they had good ideas, were good communicators, and eventually rose to the top. Usually the people I favor from the beginning flame out - see Dean. So this time I really like a number of candidates, but am not coming down hard on one side or the other. I can't wait to watch the debates to get a more clear picture of who these people are and then it's off to the primaries.
