1. I worry at times that the base won't come out for Biden because he's old and white.

But he’s so popular in the rust belt that it might not matter.

[lark]

2. He's definitely popular with Dems I know in N. FL.

I love Joe, he's so real, so honest.

[elocs]

4. Republicans count on the Democratic base to be fickle and undependable voters.

If voters on the Left are too stupid and too childish in needing to be excited and motivated to vote then those people deserve what they get. When the winner of nearly every important election is either going to be the Democratic candidate or the Republican one it is our duty to get out and vote for the Democrat.

BOTH Sanders and Biden are old and white. It's time for some new, young blood in the Democratic Party.

[elleng]

27. Oh smart, so FEW of us are also 'old' and white.

[violetpastille]

32. Biden is my last choice amongst the front runners ngl. Okay, Bernie is my last, last.

Of course I will vote for either if nominated, blah, blah, blah.

34. You say Biden is old and white, well

what the hell is Sanders?

[violetpastille]

35. Old. White. Not a Democrat. n/t

[MineralMan]

3. Wait! What? I thought Bernie was America's favorite politician.

Guess not.

[femmocrat]

5. It's probably name recognition at this point.

Polls this far out don’t matter very much. After the new Congress is sworn in, some early contenders will start to emerge.

[JaneQPublic]

6. +1000 (nt)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. The Bern is equally well known.

[Hortensis]

21. The Republicans make SURE of that.

[Garrett78]

8. Of course it's name recognition. These polls are meaningless at this juncture.

[Maven]

15. Isn't Bernie well-known at this point?

Maybe Democrats just don't want him.

[Cha]

17. BS is evidently on the damn tv All the time.. if they

have a tv I don't see how not having "name recognition" would be a problem.

[NurseJackie]

19. Of course he is.

Isn't Bernie well-known at this point?

Of course he is.

Maybe Democrats just don't want him.

That appears to be more likely than any other explanation.

[SMC22307]

9. No Biden, no Sanders...

and I'm a Sanders supporter and like Joe. But the rightwing has seized on "Creepy Joe" as well as his conduct in the Thomas-Hill hearings. Why, in the #metoo era, would Democrats want that baggage? Hell, Democrats got Franken to step down over a fucking photo...

[comradebillyboy]

10. How about someone under 60?

I am 70 now and would really prefer a candidate in his/her 40s.

[DFW]

11. Second that

I'm not 70 yet, but I agree--a new president ideally should be between 45 and 55. Obviously, if an incoming president is in his 40s, he had better be one hell of an intellect to have a successful presidency, because he will make mistakes at first. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama come to mind.

We have a like-minded soulmate in Howard Dean, who said (ten years ago) that an incoming president should be around 50. Howard will be 70 next month, by the way, and at this point, I'd prefer him over just about anybody, but he is 100% not interested. Even if he were, Judy would have him chained to the dining room table before agreeing to him taking on a job with national responsibilities again.

[violetpastille]

33. How about someone under 75 for cryin out loud?

Come on. Sit the hell down Bernie/Biden.

It's great that they're spry and everything but c'mon. Please.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. This is a name poll, and nothing more.

[Buckeyeblue]

13. A lot can happen in the next year and a haf

I'm open to the person that demonstrates she/he is the best person to win.

[UniteFightBack]

14. I'm voting for whomever can win...and I'm not picky about who that is...but Biden/Harris solves it

all.

[Gothmog]

16. I would support Joe Biden

[Small-Axe]

23. I would also (happily) support Joe Biden.

The other guy? Not at all popular with this Democrat.

[Cha]

18. BS is all over the place and he's at "13%".. Good.

[Bfd]

37. 13%

[Cha]

38. The M$M keeps pushing him

constantly.. Now why ever would that be?

[Hortensis]

20. Whatever. I don't believe Sanders is a serious contender

at his age and given what happened in 2016, even though he does still have a devoted little faction and most Americans now know his name. Rather, the Republicans, and no doubt Russia, have been pumping him up to use him against those who will be running as the Democratic candidates, as they've been doing all along.

Still, it's nice to see a poll result they haven't produced.

[a kennedy]

22. I'm sorry, but I don't want either one.....

really I don’t......is that wrong??

[Joe941]

24. I'd vote for bernie.

[Cha]

39. I wouldn't.

[Scurrilous]

25. ...

[RandySF]

26. I'm not giving 2020 any thought until Nov. 7th

[Meadowoak]

28. +1000

[bdtrppr6]

29. if this is the future,

forget it. done. and over.

[RDANGELO]

30. I don't think Biden is going to run.

Bernie will run, but I don't think he will win the nomination. It's going to be Harris or Warren. I think Harris would be the better national candidate. Warren is an agitator. She would be better as Senate Leader.

[ZZenith]

31. Kamala Harris.

First female president.

You heard it here first.

[wiley]

36. Who cares?

Focus. If we don't take at least the House in a few weeks there won't be an election in 2020.

[Scurrilous]

40. Boink.
