Democratic Primaries

(151,532 posts)On DU, we are looking at a very small slice of the Democratic pie. Primary voters and DUers are not the same groups, really. We have some polling results, but they're so early right now that the biggest group is still those who are undecided.
The candidate field for the Democratic primaries is now pretty much decided, although others could still step in. During the rest of 2019, we'll see the polling percentages shift around a bit. That will be a better look at what's going on than discussions on DU, really, but you'll still see a big block of undecided voters.
Until we start seeing some actual primary and caucus results, this race will still be up in the air, I think. However, in 2020, the Super Tuesday primaries will give us a pretty clear indication of who has a chance and who does not. At that point, the field will narrow dramatically, I think, and we'll have fewer names to bandy about.
Right now, it's still an open race. That will start changing in the next few months, though. The bulk of primary voters isn't really paying that much attention at the moment. Only political junkies are focused on this for the time being.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
