If he can’t maintain enthusiasm and inspire significant increases in voter turnout, Trump will be re-elected.

there’s an enthusiasm gap for Biden among some primary voters, the poll found. A majority of those surveyed, 56%, said Warren would fight “a great deal” for people like them, and 54% said the same of Sanders. Only 38% described Biden that way.

When asked who has been the most “passionate” so far, Warren and Sanders each had 28%, while Biden had just 14%. Warren, who has touted her policy proposals, was seen as the most specific candidate, with 42%, while Harris was seen as the strongest with 32%.

The tracking chart shows the trends, so yes, down to 29% as of today. bluewater Aug 2019 #3

Biden will track higher in 3 days Vegas Roller Aug 2019 #5

Today's CNN Poll IS shown in the average. Look at the link again. bluewater Aug 2019 #7

Yes .. but one of the older polls will drop from the average Vegas Roller Aug 2019 #28

... Kahuna7 Aug 2019 #19

Same poll shows he maintains the same lead he's had for at least a week 13.2% Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #8

The OP definitely doesn't want to put any positive light into n Biden. Must be disappointing that still_one Aug 2019 #10

Return to normal - exactly onetexan Aug 2019 #32

And yet he's roughly equal to the 2nd and 3rd place candidates combined, one of whom.... George II Aug 2019 #6

That link has HTML editing code, won't work for anyone but you. Here's the link to the thread: highplainsdem Aug 2019 #15

Over the past 7-10 days Warren is down even more. honest.abe Aug 2019 #12

Yes, it should since the spread in the candidate's numbers have not shifted leads Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #16

Front runners always get the headlines ;) bluewater Aug 2019 #18

And Warren is also a front runner in some polls. honest.abe Aug 2019 #20

Here's a peak at how that drop out will affect the state of the race Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #24

You are certainly entitled to your opinion Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #22

Biden's been polling at about 30% most of the time for 10 months now, per CNN's Harry Enten. highplainsdem Aug 2019 #21

So your point is Biden has been flat lining at 30%? bluewater Aug 2019 #25

Flatlining refers to death. Candidates stuck at a couple percent or less are flatlinging. Biden is highplainsdem Aug 2019 #29

Bottom line ...Biden still maintains the same lead over the other candidates 13.2% Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #34

I just redid the message above to post as an OP: highplainsdem Aug 2019 #26

the problem may be that the so called top tier candidates can't beat Biden JI7 Aug 2019 #23

I agree. mtnsnake Aug 2019 #27
