Joe Biden is at a steady 32% approximately. When I hear other candidates are rising in the polls, surging, on a hot roll Etc, what I'm thinking is that may be true, but I think those surges for the other candidates are simply swapping supporters back and forth amongst themselves, and Joe Biden's supporters are not a part of that, hence the steady lead among candidates. Does that make sense, or am I off base?

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