Biden is top choice for climate-minded 2020 voters: Poll

42. Roll your eyes all you want, but no, not just one poll. I don't ever trust ANY polls

If one of my favorite candidates was as far out in front as Biden is this early on, I wouldn't be comfortable at all. In fact, I would be more nervous than comfortable because of so many instances where people starting out so high in the polls often drop like flies in the end. Past history is often a much better indicator of what happens than any polls are. Having said that, Biden's lead is so huge that it will be extra hard for the other candidates to surmount that much of a lead unless he makes some sort of disastrous mistake between now and next year.

Anyway, polls can be damaging in more ways than one. Since the polls highlight the 4 or 5 people in the lead, the uninformed poll watchers usually tend to pick one of the leaders just because the uninformed often tend to jump on the poll bandwagon without checking out everyone else in the poll. Polls with this many contenders can stifle the ones starting out at the bottom because all everyone is talking about are the leaders. Polls never educate.

Okay, I'll brace myself for another dreaded roly eye thing again.
