1. Maybe no Dem will pass the "standing in the rain test." But here's Quinnipiac.

The poll is months old, but it's a major poll, so there's that.

So far...

Biden and Bernie are both popular

African Americans love Biden, 73-12.
A lot of Latinos don’t know who he is, but those who do like him 46-18.
White people like Biden, too, by a 52-38 margin. Biden even does okay with white men (49-43) and white voters with no college degree (44-41).

Biden does best with voters under 35 (60-21) but also does pretty well with old people (54-33).
Bernie Sanders is distinctly less popular than Biden at 44-42 and, accordingly, is less uniformly popular across demographic groups.

African Americans (55-26) and Latinos (52-26) like Bernie, but he’s slightly underwater (43-45) with whites, faring especially poorly with white men (40-51) and working-class whites (38-44).
Young people really like Sanders (57-29), but old people do not (40-45).

Here's the latest Rasmussen (conservative poller) presidential matchup, which is probably one reason he did a Fox News town hall.

If I were to vote in a presidential

Lots of people on this board push the "AA hate Sanders" line, but it's not rooted in fact. Decoy of Fenris Apr 2019 #7

A slightly more recent poll for your consideration. Decoy of Fenris Apr 2019 #9
I saw that and didn't trust its source, which is owned by DeLoitte. Just sayin'. ancianita Apr 2019 #10
Are you speaking of the Morning Consult polling or the analysis? I'm not familiar with the name. nt Decoy of Fenris Apr 2019 #11
Morning Consult is like DeLoitte, good with numbers. I'm with you; I'll only read their analysis. ancianita Apr 2019 #12
Hm. I'll take what you've said into consideration in the future. Decoy of Fenris Apr 2019 #13
Here. DeLoitte is a Big global financial entity. ancianita Apr 2019 #14
Thank you. Researching now. This may take a while. n/t Decoy of Fenris Apr 2019 #15
Hey, no problem! Wikipedia is just one of my go-to's. ancianita Apr 2019 #16
Thanks this is pretty consistent with the other link. Bernie is a tad stronger among blacks than Dream Girl Apr 2019 #17
Full disclosure, that poll -may- be suspect. Decoy of Fenris Apr 2019 #18
Isn't Morning Consult highly respected? Dream Girl Apr 2019 #19
I thought so, but I'm seeing pushback elsewhere. Decoy of Fenris Apr 2019 #20
