I am referencing Biden actual poll numbers, not his "lead" over Sanders.

So, yes even those Quinnipiac polls are quite consistent with Biden's numbers going from 38 to 35. Also you failed to notice that Morning Consult has 4 polls in there which are remarkably consistent at 36,40,39,39. That would be the best test of any drop in Biden's support.

I am not saying these polls prove anything but clearly his support is not "deteriorating".

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