6. Going from 7.3% to 15.4% over a six-month period wouldn't fit most people's definition of a surge.

She's had a slow but fairly steady rise in the polls as she takes more support from Sanders.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html

Usually when people talk about a candidate "surging" they mean a large increase in support in a short period of time.

I think it would be more correct to say she's slowly eroding Sanders' base of support among the left wing of the party.

10. Since Biden's the frontrunner and many of us find him inspiring -- as this USA Today op-ed explains -- https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287253708

11. And btw, your sniping at Biden again isn't a refutation of my pointing out that Warren's slowly
eroding Sanders' support.

She is not eroding Biden's support.

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