15. I expected that when Bloomberg entered the race, he would take voters from Biden.

However, since he announced, it was Warren and Buttigeig whose poll numbers sank. Biden's numbers are right about where they were before Bloomberg entered the race. According to this link...

...Bloomberg is polling at about 5.6% nationally, but it appears that most if not all of that has come from Buttigieg and Warren. You can check it out for yourself. You can go to this link...

...and see how everyone does after November 24, 2019, when Bloomberg announced his candidacy.

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

So now Bernie needs the help of a "billionaire" to get to the White House. oasis Jan 2020 #9

It's not that Bernie "needs" Bloomberg. Bernie didn't ask Bloomberg to enter the race. totodeinhere Jan 2020 #24

Biden's numbers have only gotten stronger since Bloomberg entered the race. Sloumeau Jan 2020 #29
