1. Congratulations Joe Biden!

I'm not at all surprised at how poorly BS is doing. His campaign has completely TANKED! His support has CRATERED and I think it's in large part due to his HUMILIATING performance at the "She the People" conference as well has his recent fuck-up on MTP.

[BannonsLiver]

2. I think Bernie and his supporters thought it would be a walk in the park.

But his campaign has been sloppy and he has turned in some bad performances (She the People).

Now instead of the waltz to the nomination they expected they are fighting to hold onto an ever diminishing sliver of the primary electorate.

[Tiggeroshii]

3. Name recognition is the only thing that's giving Biden the edge, as there are no debates, and there

has been very little advertising on the airwaves. Once people see Biden and Sander's performances at the debates, it will become slowly more clear who we will select.

[TwilightZone]

6. Sanders has nearly 100% name recognition. Warren's is 88%.

Name recognition is a canard. Everyone knows who Bernie is and what he stands for.

[Tiggeroshii]

8. Understandably they know more about Biden than they do Bernie.

Biden was VP for 8 years. Bernie ran for president in one cycle and failed. There has not been much media attention or recognition since then. The percentage of recognition could be correct, but the extent to which they know about him is far less.

[TwilightZone]

12. Nope.

Their exposure to Bernie and his ideas are just as recent as to those of Biden. If anything, they're more familiar with Bernie's recent record thanks to the 2016 cycle.

[W_HAMILTON]

44. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[Demsrule86]

53. No, the coverage on Bernie was huuuuge. People know him.

[BannonsLiver]

18. Yeah, because after 40 years in politics nobody knows who Bernie is.

[Tiggeroshii]

19. After 40 years in politics, Vermonters know him really well.

Not so much the rest of the country

[GeniusJoy]

21. Bernie has not stopped campaigning since about 2015 nt

[Tiggeroshii]

22. The extent of which was very limited.

No advertising, large campaign rallies, media focus, etc.

[Tipperary]

28. I live nowhere near Vermont.

I know who he is. And I remember the last time he ran.

[BannonsLiver]

29. In that case his 2016 loss was a bigger defeat than first thought

He ran a national campaign, finished second, but nobody knows who he is. Dismal.

[Cary]

40. I know he isn't a Democrat and that he bashes us a lot

He might try an Dale Carnegie course?

[GeniusJoy]

20. Nate doesn't think so.

[Cha]

24. Yep.. Nate telling it like it is..

not how some want it to be.

Thanks, GJ

[oasis]

42. Ouch!

[Tipperary]

27. Yep. Once he starts wagging that finger at them,

the audience will realize how great he is.

[Tiggeroshii]

35. Or you know, when they again relate to the socio economic disparities

He is addressing and understand the solutions he is proposing, they are more likely to support him. Oh and the whole winning iowa thing will help.

[Tipperary]

39. Sure they will. nt

[Cha]

43. Yeah, it worked so well at

#SheThePeople!

[Tipperary]

46. Lol!

Went over well there, didn’t it?!

[tymorial]

30. Lol

[emmaverybo]

34. You repeat this myth, but it should be clear by now that name recognition is not the only or

even the most significant factor in Biden’s poll performance thus far. Name recognition in its literal sense only implies that the public can put a face to a name.
Those of us who support Joe recognize his character, temperament, history of accomplishment, experience, knowledge, intelligence, stability in personal and political life, not just his name.
We recognize his appeal to Americans from many constituencies, and his potential to unite.
We like that he has a vision for the country that is optimistic and inclusive.
We admire and are inspired by his unflagging drive to serve.
We recognize him as having superior qualifications for the presidency.

[beastie boy]

38. What about Warren? She is only three points behind Bernie.

One can as well argue that the only thing that's giving Bernie the edge versus Warren is name recognition. Do you think that after HER performance in the debates, SHE might overtake Bernie?

[Demsrule86]

52. Sanders ran last time, he has name recognition. He burned bridges

In the 2016 general...lukewarm support for Hillary.

[qazplm135]

11. Sanders was done the moment Warren came in

there was no way the progressive vote wasn't going to be split at that point.

If it wasn't Biden, it would have been someone else who eventually got the moderate vote.
Sanders was never getting it.

[Tiggeroshii]

23. Sanders already consistently leads both Warren and Biden in Massachussetts by large margins

When Warren drops out, she will more than likely endorse him.

[Tarheel_Dem]

41. We thought she'd endorse him last time, but how'd that work out?

[Tiggeroshii]

48. Let's just say biden probably wont be her first choice...

She didn't have the history with Clinton she does with biden

[Green Line]

47. What polls?

I live in Mass, the only polls I can find are from early April before Biden announced. At that time BS only had a 3 point lead on Biden, please show the current Mass polls.

[qazplm135]

49. you continue to post things

that make me laugh.

[George II]

4. I think this is the first poll I've seen where Biden is more than double his closest rival....

Think about it, 36% is more than one-third, the other 20+ are splitting up the other two-thirds. That 36% is amazing considering the huge crowd.

Biden and Buttigieg are the only two with positive favorability Ratings:

49 - 39 percent for Joseph Biden +10
23 - 19 percent for South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg +4
27 - 30 percent favorable for Sen. Kamala Harris of California -3
41 - 48 percent for Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont -7
23 - 31 percent for Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey -8
32 - 41 percent for Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts -9
20 - 32 percent for former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas -12
8 - 45 percent for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio -37

[crazytown]

14. What is Mayor de Blasio's game?

He's no fool so ... a sociopath?

[customerserviceguy]

15. Another NYC egotist, is my guess. n/t

[tymorial]

32. Hoping for an appointment

[Funtatlaguy]

5. You forgot to mention Trump Dropped to 38% approval

And 57% disapproval in this poll. Sweet.

[emmaverybo]

36. Yes!

[HockeyMom]

7. Poll in PA.

Sorry, cannot remember the local poll, but it had Biden beating Trump by double digits. "Native Son" I suppose. Sanders, Harris, etc, still beat Trump in single digits. Trump has no Native Son Advantage in his state.

[Cha]

25. Thanks for that, HockeyMom!

[MineralMan]

31. Native SOB, More Like...

[NewJeffCT]

9. If I'm reading that correctly

Only Biden and Mayor Pete are net positive ?

[Scurrilous]

10. ...

[DownriverDem]

16. About the economy

it's not that great for many. I don't vote the economy anyway.

[OnlinePoker]

17. Serious - Do you think those ranked with almost no support will stay until the primaries start?

Or will they wait until the debate and see what happens after that?

[MineralMan]

33. They'll wait.

[LakeArenal]

26. Yay!!

[mr_liberal]

37. Biden can claim some of the strong economy too because he was Obama's vp.

I think voters see this economy as Obama-Trump more than just Trump.

So Biden's the only Democrat that can say that and convince voters that he'll keep the economy humming.

If the economy tanks then that makes other democrats more plausible, but Biden-Obama wouldn't get the blame for that, all the blame would fall on Trump. So with the economy its win-win for Biden.

[Skya Rhen]

45. Perfectly stated - The Obama-Trump economy - an accurate description...

Trump cannot take full credit for the solid economy he inherited. The table was already set for him...

[highplainsdem]

50. K&R

[democratisphere]

51. Don't know who has good feelings on this economy?

Like everything else drumpf, it is a lie.
