RCP averages have Bernie ahead in all but two super Tuesday states.

Minnesota and Oklahoma are the exceptions

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/SuperTuesday.html

Biden still has a 2% edge in NC.

I really thought the health records stuff would make a dent in his polling but he seems to be building momentum.

I'm not saying they don't care about his health. I'm saying it's already factored in. Most voters are going to know he had a heart attack. And know he survived without apparently losing a step. And they already knew he is old. Detailed records or not just doesn't change the basic calculation on him.

And if you mean that he released less than he promised, well, Bernie's brand already has "reliability" credit. Not releasing as much as he promised doesn't challenge their ideas that he won't keep his word on his policies.

So the two big concerns his records might impact are already pretty settled. First, because voters already don't think he's got great health and second because his policy-trustworthiness is considered highly reliable.

I'd like to see him pick someone young and ethnic as a running mate. Julián Castro has endorsed Warren but if she doesn't win I'd like to see Castro (or someone like him) as his running mate.

I could also live with Stacey Abrams, but only if she gets behind Bernie's M4A plan.
