Political Wire Straw Poll Results

https://politicalwire.com/2019/05/16/political-wire-straw-poll-results-5/

This poll was only open to Political Wire members.

Our May straw poll finds 77% of Political Wire members think that Joe Biden will win the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, followed Kamala Harris at 11%, Elizabeth Warren at 4% and Pete Buttigieg at 3%.

However, when it comes to personal preferences for who Political Wire members want to win, the race is much closer. Biden still leads with 24%, but he’s followed very closely by Harris at 22%, Buttigieg at 20% and Warren at 19%.

I know this only represents the views of Political Wire subscribers and not voters at large but it made me feel better.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
