Why wont it last? honest.abe May 2019 #15
I think it could go down if the other candidates target him on the debate stage Otto Lidenbrock May 2019 #23
If he is still holding this kind of lead up to the debates.. honest.abe May 2019 #24
Mike Gravel is only showing up to jump on Biden Otto Lidenbrock May 2019 #28
Gravel likely won't share the same stage as Biden. Drunken Irishman May 2019 #105

"DU members aren't reflective of real world democrats." uawchild May 2019 #75
I think in general we are more liberal/progressive. But most Democrats don't care about labels emulatorloo May 2019 #77
These last 4 national primary polls show a definite trend. nt Kahuna7 May 2019 #26
Democratic primary voters are cool toward Bernie. Blue_true May 2019 #118
Good. This confirms my thinking about what MineralMan May 2019 #36
Looks like he may be the nominee. Has anyone this far ahead not won the nomination? Honeycombe8 May 2019 #42
A case can be made that Biden was this far ahead in 1987 and folded uawchild May 2019 #80
Very interesting. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #90
Plagiarism of Neil Kinnock and he also fabricated aspects of his own family's background in order Celerity May 2019 #102

Why does the CNN poll have Beto ahead of everyone, including Biden? BigmanPigman May 2019 #47
Sounds like an outlier emulatorloo May 2019 #69
Depends how much push polling CNN did or did not do uawchild May 2019 #84
