A new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds there are twice as many Democrats who think Biden will face Donald Trump as those who think Bernie Sanders will
More than one-third of registered voters including 43% of Democrats think former Vice President Joe Biden will claim the Democratic nomination, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov survey.
Just 19% of registered voters and 17% of Democrats think Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will claim the right to challenge President Donald Trump in November. Seven percent of registered voters and 13% of Democrats think Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will, while 5% of registered voters and 7% of Democrats think former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will claim his new partys nomination. No other candidate received more than 2%, including former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
A major portion of the electorate is unsure who will win: 27% of registered voters and 14% of Democrats didnt have an opinion about who would clinch the nomination.
The 43% of Democrats who say they think Biden will eventually face Trump greatly outpaces his performance in polling averages, which generally show him receiving around 27% of the vote. That means a significant amount of voters who intend to cast ballots for candidates other than Biden think hell still claim the nomination.
The survey illustrates how Biden, the leading establishment candidate in the race, is still considered the default pick for many Democrats even after taking fire for months from other candidates, including Sanders.
At the same time, Sanders generally receives around 22% support in polling averages ― meaning many of his supporters think another candidate will ultimately triumph. The same is true of backers of Warren, Bloomberg, Buttigieg, Klobuchar and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
Yet the results also indicate that many voters believe the candidate they are backing is likely to win: Black voters, who make up a core part of Bidens base, are especially confident he will win the nomination, with 44% predicting a victory. Just 10% think Sanders will win, while 9% think Warren will and 8% say the same of Bloomberg.
