then... I look forward to hearing Senl Harris explain some rather puzzling things about her stint as DA and AG...at the next debate in 90 seconds.

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

How does the Morning Consult Poll select their responders? bluewater Jun 2019 #1

They probably have a prescreened panel and use a continuous survey Dream Girl Jun 2019 #28

Funny, this poll says she's up. Joe is as well against Sanders. brush Jun 2019 #91

Totally agree. Dahvia Jun 2019 #94

Maybe the merch wasn't such a good idea. ucrdem Jun 2019 #3

The t-shirt was a disastrous idea, judging by most of the reactions I saw on Twitter, highplainsdem Jun 2019 #4

It pissed me off for sure. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #15

lol, polls are nothing but propaganda tools, watoos Jun 2019 #5

That's exactly what I saw! Mme. Defarge Jun 2019 #27

Yep. He zipped it. You could see he wanted to say more but employed remarkable restraint Dream Girl Jun 2019 #30

Yep no way the hosts were going to referee that one. ucrdem Jun 2019 #34

I've never seen anyone dismiss polls as a propaganda tool if their candidate was doing well highplainsdem Jun 2019 #12

Depends on the poll, Turin_C3PO Jun 2019 #24

Your opinion is not fact. It's an opinion. Perhaps you might rephrase that. hedda_foil Jun 2019 #43

We don't have to rephrase anything...I will say that I think Biden is the only one who can Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #46

Biden's administration would hit the ground running minutes oasis Jun 2019 #61

Yes the administration would and by taking three states he stops Trump...WI, PA and MI. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #67

They all would do that. Obama did that. Even Trump did that, but he tripped. marylandblue Jun 2019 #82

Trump did that? It was a disaster then, and now. oasis Jun 2019 #83

Yes, Trump is incompetent. But for all the Democratic candidates, marylandblue Jun 2019 #84

It's been a problem with Biden supporters on DU. marylandblue Jun 2019 #57

That is your opinion and why is it a problem for Biden supporters to post their honest opinions? But Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #74

Because, in general. Biden supporters state their opinions as if they were facts, marylandblue Jun 2019 #81

So the takeaway is that one candidate has a net gain while the other has a net loss. Kaleva Jun 2019 #6

The takeaway is that one candidate's much-vaunted post-debate bump declined by more than highplainsdem Jun 2019 #9

You can't necessarily equate the two polls (the new one and the one where Biden was down 10) thesquanderer Jun 2019 #23

Coul the 8 point bounce have been taken among viewers of the debates? Dream Girl Jun 2019 #39

here is the methodology behind that specific 538/MC poll (you are correct, as it is separate from Celerity Jun 2019 #72

She lost most of her net gain...And what about the Church story gaining traction on the internet? Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #14

Harris lost some of more her net gain and opened herself up to more scrutiny katmondoo Jun 2019 #19

Agree! It was not her best look.. or a presidential one Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #37

I don't disagree. And I always like her didn't support her in the primaries because I believe Biden Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #48

Interesting! peggysue2 Jun 2019 #7

These polls are going to oscillate quite a bit for months. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2019 #10

I agree. But at the moment the only real data points on how well candidates are doing are polls, highplainsdem Jun 2019 #11

Gambling odds are informative, too. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #20

The odds also reflect other factors that polls can't account for. marylandblue Jun 2019 #35

Well, they give Trump the clear advantage, sad to say. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #52

Yeah, well he has gone up in the last few months. That is unfortunate. marylandblue Jun 2019 #55

So if someone you don't like is ahead, there's a problem with the entity.... Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #69

I have NO idea what you are talking about. marylandblue Jun 2019 #95

Joe Biden maintains a double-digit lead. MineralMan Jun 2019 #17

I'm not sure whether or not Harris was right to do what she did. But... thesquanderer Jun 2019 #29

I think he'll probably figure out the best approach to respond to such MineralMan Jun 2019 #31

I don't blame his staff for his not having comebacks for criticisms of... thesquanderer Jun 2019 #42

Yes, he does have to be able to think on his feet better. marylandblue Jun 2019 #45

I think the media and other candidates will continue the attacks which are mostly unfair...and he Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #49

We'll see. Negative campaigning is used because it works. marylandblue Jun 2019 #53

The media should not join in the mudslinging against any candidate...But will say that Harris hurt Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #58

"The media should not..." marylandblue Jun 2019 #63

I don't doubt that...but it is still wrong. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #65

They don't bother complaining about it. The media is not kind to Biden because he says things marylandblue Jun 2019 #68

IMHO only.. Biden was being respectful of another dem and didn't go into attack mode for that Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #41

He didn't need to attack Harris. He needed to better explain his position. thesquanderer Jun 2019 #44

That would have been a good answer. It would laid the whole thing to rest and marylandblue Jun 2019 #47

I don't consider busing a problem...and I would not even mention it again... Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #50

He needed to explain a 50 year old failed policy on busing... in 90 seconds...OK Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #59

I typed a 15 second answer that would have been sufficient to avoid the dust-up. thesquanderer Jun 2019 #62
