Biden only Democrat with strong positive favorability numbers

Former Vice President Joe Biden is the only Democratic presidential candidate with a clear positive favorability rating, while President Trump's approval flounders despite strong marks on the economy, according to a new poll.

A Quinnipiac University national poll released Tuesday found that 49 percent of all voters surveyed have a favorable view of Biden, compared to 39 percent who have an unfavorable opinion of him.

He is also the top pick for his party's nomination among Democrats surveyed, with 35 percent saying they would choose Biden. The next closest candidate is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), at 16 percent.

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the only other Democrat to post a positive favorability rating — 23 percent favorable versus 19 percent unfavorable.
