Biden is the best known nationally of the bunch. Longevity of media attention and VP helps. I have my problems with Biden's past record, but zero problems with supporting him if he is chosen.

However, the rest of the pack need and deserves the chance to get their message out. So far all of them have big pluses and a few small minuses. For me it will probably come down to the wire on who I choose. I don't think we go wrong with anyone.

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

Folks need to focus DownriverDem Jun 2019 #71

I think it is in fact name recognition as well as familiarity. marylandblue Jun 2019 #3

The fact he is in the mid 30's and in the 40's in some polls Peacetrain Jun 2019 #7

Depending upon the poll, Biden's support exceeds the next three, four, or five candidates combined. George II Jun 2019 #11

True that.. I do not have the polls in front of me! Peacetrain Jun 2019 #15

In the two most recent polls on RCP, Sanders+Warren are beating him. marylandblue Jun 2019 #34

You appear to be living in the past FBaggins Jun 2019 #78

You are right..I was wrong.. 40% is old.. it was 53% as of 6/11/2019 Peacetrain Jun 2019 #79

That's great news if he runs against Trump FBaggins Jun 2019 #80

We'll see what happens.. that is what primaries and caucuses are for.. Peacetrain Jun 2019 #81

That's a big assumption unsupported by recent history. FBaggins Jun 2019 #82

So has Sanders and Warren....no Biden can win. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #86

Biden has the mist, by far, sanders 2nd most, Warren 3rd marylandblue Jun 2019 #89

I agree. But it's also very much how electable people believe he is. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #4

Right about that.. Peacetrain Jun 2019 #9

Obama ran against McCain in 2008, not Bush. Bush was gone in any case. Demit Jun 2019 #21

I know it was McCain..but people were energized about getting rid of the republican party Peacetrain Jun 2019 #28

To me, that is THE MAJOR concern for 2020 TruckFump Jun 2019 #16

Cannot disagree with you a second there Peacetrain Jun 2019 #19

I have more... complicated idea of what is happening, and it is not reflected in the polls yet. marylandblue Jun 2019 #25

Good analysis. BlueWI Jun 2019 #43

Maybe... loyalsister Jun 2019 #5

Where I think (again this is my personal opinion) Peacetrain Jun 2019 #13

Could be loyalsister Jun 2019 #22

Oh yes PatSeg Jun 2019 #24

and I have little doubt Biden will choose woman as VP AlexSFCA Jun 2019 #52

I would bet money on that PatSeg Jun 2019 #58

He's smart enough to actually USE what Warren would bring to the table, too The Mouth Jun 2019 #70

Oh, I can picture it PatSeg Jun 2019 #74

I don't think he will. He is above 70 and polls clearly show a bias against women Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #87

Yes, I may be guilty of that. But I don't mind being wrong, it's part of the fun. marylandblue Jun 2019 #29

Maybe it has to do with experience and doesn't need on the job training? FloridaBlues Jun 2019 #6

Yep good point Peacetrain Jun 2019 #10

I think it has a lot to do with it.. Cha Jun 2019 #46

I will go with experience liberal N proud Jun 2019 #12

Amen to that! Peacetrain Jun 2019 #14

The going backwards thing is a metaphor for something else that isn't Obama's fault marylandblue Jun 2019 #30

Trump ate everyone up on stage Peacetrain Jun 2019 #20

Of course we have to have the best, but we can't know who that is yet. marylandblue Jun 2019 #32

Jimmy Carter was at 1% at this point when he won Indygram Jun 2019 #23

Because the people they poll aren't DUers? MineralMan Jun 2019 #26

This. He's popular among more Americans at this point than the other candidates. It is difficult emmaverybo Jun 2019 #48

That's a good analysis, I think. MineralMan Jun 2019 #51

Biden has the greatest chance of getting the most votes from democratisphere Jun 2019 #33

MSNBC pundits and some candidates keep saying we shouldn't try to attract Kahuna7 Jun 2019 #36

We need as many different types of voters as possible. democratisphere Jun 2019 #56

Agree heartily. At our peril we dismiss this fact. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #49

Agreed. democratisphere Jun 2019 #55

I don't know. This might have something to do with it... Kahuna7 Jun 2019 #35

There is a lot of truth to that. mtnsnake Jun 2019 #73

Thank you Faux pas Jun 2019 #75

Name recognition plus association with Obama. But only Sanders would have name recognition pnwmom Jun 2019 #38

Yeah, you keep saying that like Biden doesn't Cha Jun 2019 #61

You keep saying that like Warren, Harris, Booker, Klobuchar, and Inslee don't have the experience pnwmom Jun 2019 #63

No, you're putting words in my mouth.. Cha Jun 2019 #64

Warren's name recognition is nearly 100%. TwilightZone Jun 2019 #66

You mean Trump mocking her as Pocahontas? That's not name recognition. pnwmom Jun 2019 #68

Sure it is and it clearly shows the danger if she runs. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #88

She's been risking as Sanders has been dropping because voters are listening. pnwmom Jun 2019 #91

This says it all for me... WinstonSmith4740 Jun 2019 #40

Joe Biden is our most electable candidate Gothmog Jun 2019 #60

I think it's real simple: he's the favorite noiretextatique Jun 2019 #62

I think he still has the lead because we haven't had debates yet. aikoaiko Jun 2019 #65

A neighbor of mine put it this way, "America needs a proven leader, not a trainee..." Skya Rhen Jun 2019 #76

Comfort zone. Once voters become more comfortable with the OTHER candidates, Biden won't be leading mtnsnake Jun 2019 #72
