If the general election for president were being held today, 51 percent of registered voters say they would vote for Joe Biden, while 42 percent say they would vote for President Trump. When Trump is matched against other Democratic contenders the race remains in single digits:
Bernie Sanders gets 51 percent, while Trump has 43 percent;
Elizabeth Warren receives 50 percent and Trump gets 43 percent;
Michael Bloomberg gets 48 percent to Trump's 42 percent;
Pete Buttigieg has 48 percent, while Trump receives 43 percent;
Amy Klobuchar receives 47 percent, while Trump has 43 percent.

And Warren's seem whacked out too.

(1,812 posts)his or her's favorability will rise on a crest of favorable news coverage . If the contest drags out to end of the primary calendar less so. If Biden wins Iowa and comes in second in NH , the race will be over on March 3, Super Tuesday . If another candidate carries the first 3 states , the contest will come down to SC . Will the AA vote stick with Joe ? If so , he will get the most delegates on Super Tuesday and the Party will around him .If not he's probably toast . The candidate other than Biden who swept the first 3 contests will win the most delegates on Super Tuesday and become the presumptive nominee by early April .

Either we have too many people who are low-information or easily manipulated, or we have enough people who project something in themselves onto him in a way that they identify with his behaviors and actions, and I mean in more than the common ones we have identified.
Something seems really wrong, or the USA is in a state of Fascist decay. We do know that populism and the kind of screw-job being given to a large number of people tends to set the stage for Fascist, right-wing and authoritarian government and there are several reasons for that.
