Poll: Majority of Dems want 'someone entirely new' to run in 2020 [View all]

A majority of Democratic and independent voters want an entirely new name to compete for the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nominee, according to a new poll.

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday found 66 percent of Democrats and independents chose “someone entirely new” from a list of possible contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2020. Of those surveyed, just 9 percent said that an unknown individual should not run.

Vice President Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) were the next-most popular choices. Forty-four percent of Democrats and independents said they would want Biden to run. Thirty-one percent said they would not want him to run.

The poll found 44 percent also said they would be excited to have Sanders take another shot at the Democratic nomination, while 38 percent would not want him to run.
