With this much genuinely interesting competition, a boring no ideas centrist like Biden might not make it as far as some expect. There's already polls suggesting that if Biden were to drop out, Bernie would benefit the most, but so would many other candidates, and not the centrist ones. Biden is riding high now, but it's almost entirely on brand power from his time as Obama's VP. Once he opens his mouth, people will begin to wonder why he's even there, and why we need someone like him when plenty of our candidates could win while presenting way more exciting futures for the country.

Just barely. At the rate at which Buttigieg is rising (17% on the latest Change Research poll, against 20 for Sanders and 21 for Biden; 21 for Buttigieg and 26 for Sanders if we exclude Biden), there's a chance that Buttigieg will replace Biden at the Top, not Sanders.

Biden isn't riding so high now anymore, he dropped quite a bit already. Let's see if his upcoming announcement will boost his numbers again. But yeah, I expect that he will drop down in numbers again over the coming weeks and months
