I still don't put much stock in any candidates poll position yet.
The Democratic field is starting to winnow so of course, the numbers are going to change.

I see Warren as having the best potential to grow her support. I was reading an article about which candidates would be a voter's second choice. Biden was a high second choice but not as high as Warren. Sanders was a very low second choice.

I think there's a hard ceiling on Sanders support. Biden is the obvious front runner but a lot of his support is not based on his policy positions, but rather on his electability. If Warren continues to gain on him and the perception of his electability strength is seen as fading, I expect some defections from Biden to Warren.
The first 3 contests are crucial.

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