And they almost always show Biden doing better than Sanders.

And no, they don't predict the final outcome next November. I'd be surprised if it isn't a close race, and I'm skeptical of polls showing several Democratic candidates beating Trump.

But these GE polls reflect Biden having the edge over the rest of the Democratic field, including Sanders, when voters are asked for whom they'd vote.

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