Added this as a comment earlier to a thread... but it’s a definite shift in many of polls back towards Biden. So, for me and other Biden fans it’s worth a repeat

🚨 Awesome day of polling for Democratic frontrunner @JoeBiden!

@surveyusa +10
@MorningConsult +9
@Ipsos +7 (+9 over Trump)
Public Religion Research Institute +8

Iowa
@Suffolk_U +1

Getting people to show up at a Caucus site and spend 3 hours there on a cold Monday Night is no easy task …. Her ground game advantage doesn't show up in the polls …...A lot of folks are embarrassed to tell pollsters they are not going participate in the Caucus - so they tell them they are ….The result is a screwed up sample …. 70% of Iowa Caucus participants are party activists and political junkes deeply committed to their candidate ……. ...The Suffolk poll discredts itself by claiming 29% of voters are still undecided ….The political junkies and party activists that dominate the process have made up their mind

primary today, I would vote for:

Good thing I haven't donated to anyone yet. Good thing I don't have any yard-signs or bumper stickers yet.

Wow... BS is in the SINGLE DIGITS now. I guess his "fainting spell" and his heart attack (myocardial infarction) and the stents to open up his clogged arteries are also having an effect on how people view him... and whether or not he's physically up to the rigors and stress of what it takes to be POTUS.

Looking at these embarrassingly low poll numbers, I think that helps to explain the hostile and aggressive attitude, and smears and denigrating attacks coming from his campaign "surrogates". They're nervous. I think they're seeing what everyone else is seeing and they know (in their heart of hearts, even if they won't say it out loud) that BS will not be our party's nominee.

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