Two new GE polls both have Biden doing better than Sanders against Trump [View all]

First, today's IBD/TIPP poll, which also has Biden leading Sanders by 7 points (26-19) in the primary section of the poll:

In their polling of Democratic candidates against Trump:

Biden +1
Bloomberg +1
Sanders -2
Buttigieg -3
Warren -4

A new USC Dornsife/LA Times poll also did GE polling as well as primary polling. The primary polling found Biden leading Sanders by 16 points, 34-18.

In the polling of Democratic candidates against Trump:

Biden +9
Sanders +7
Warren +4
Buttigieg +3
Klobuchar +2

We can add these to the vast array of GE polls showing Biden doing better than the rest of the field, including Sanders, against Trump.

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

Those avgs are based on an aggregate of later polling only Tiggeroshii Jan 2020 #8

True, but the point is, polling works. Downtown Hound Jan 2020 #10
