Left-leaning voters have a lot of opposition candidates to choose from. So far they have *clears throat* Cory Booker, Julian Castro, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, John Hickenlooper, Jay Inslee, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Beto O’Rourke, Marianne Williamson, Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg and Wayne Messam (everyone goes “Wayne who?). We’ll probably see Joe Biden jump in the mix soon as well.
As you can see, it’s a diverse bunch. They have women, minorities, socialists– you name it! It begs the question. Who do the #resisters like? Who’s leading in the polls right now?
Boy, I’m glad you asked!
According to the latest Quinnipiac University poll, most Democratic voters are leaning toward Biden, Sanders and O’Rourke.
In an early look at the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, former Vice President Joseph Biden is the choice of 29 percent of Democrats and voters leaning Democratic, with 19 percent for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and 12 percent for former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.
U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California has 8 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University National Poll finds. No other Democratic contender gets more than 4 percent.
If it sounds like Democratic voters’ first two choices are old white men, it’s because their first two choices are old white men. Weird– I thought they HATED that? I thought they were all about diversity and smashing the patriarchy? Why are they so racist and sexist? Why don’t they want a female to be POTUS? They need to answer these burning questions immediately!
“Hungry for a candidate to take on President Donald Trump, Democrats and Democratic leaners put the three B’s, Biden, Bernie and Beto, at the top in a race where age, race and gender take a back seat to electability and shared views,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
Republicans and Republican leaners remain loyal to President Donald Trump, saying 56 – 35 percent they do not want to see someone run against him in a Republican primary.
Biden, Bernie and Beto. Those are the fan favorites, and it speaks volumes.
