Speaking of polls, on the Wikipedia page they now added tons of graphs for each candidate and for them grouped together: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationwide_opinion_polling_for_the_2020_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries

The Andrew Yang town hall was great. He is a man of the people.

I just watched Bernie Sanders town hall and found it hilarious how they worded their questions in a way to frame him badly but it backfired every single time they tried to do so. Especially when the host asked about healthcare:

Q: who gets private healthcare? 60-70% of the audience raises hands, including Bernie and the hosts
Q: Who agrees with Bernie's Plan to... Gets cut off by a cheering crowd who all raise their hands again except the hosts

He really showed that his movement is about the people and for the people, and not punitive to companies or rich people - just wanting them to pay their fair share, too.

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

Out of the dems running I like Yang and Gabbard.
Yang because he has a really solid platform and is talking about problems none else is.
Gabbard so she can get is out of all these wars and end US intervention.

For me, the top 3 would be Sanders, Gravel, and Gabbard. Too bad Gravel already announced that he would fold after the debates. But considering his advanced age and deteriorating health (he needs a walking cane, for starters), it's understandable; the risk of him dying in office would be very real.

All 3 have almost the same policies, and both Gravel and Sanders were both democratic socialists before that was cool in the US, and neither hold back at criticizing the US when needed.

Apparently, the Fox News Town Hall with Bernie has boosted his support according to the Guardian. I certainly wouldn't mind if that is true. We'll see in the next polls, I guess.

Buttigieg has some fatal flaws for me, especially that he doesn't support single payer healthcare or tuition free public colleges. But of course, he would still be lightyears better than Trump.

He's one of the few Dems that's somewhat impressive. Calm, cool, down to Earth. While I don't think 2020 is his time, in the future he could very well have a shot at becoming a front runner.

It's official, Seth Moulton is in. But, I don't think he will do well.

If Biden announces he's running on Weds., he immediately becomes the front runner. If he doesn't run, and I don't think he will, it opens up the door for Andrew Cuomo. Let's see what JB does.

Why do you think Biden won't run?
