Biden and Sanders both have 98% name recognition But when asked about favorability, Biden has 37% very favorable and 39% somewhat favorable. Sanders has 30% favorable and 44% somewhat favorable.

Biden leads Sanders among all groups by race and gender, men and women, black and white, but Biden leads by most among black women (47-18) and black men (40-21).

The only age group where Sanders leads Biden is age 18-29. Sanders leads 36-23 there. Biden and Sanders are tied with those age 30-44 (27-27), and Biden leads with those age 45-54 (37-19), 55-64 (42-16), and 65+ (48-10).

But it's really early, so Biden & Sanders are riding the wave of their nationally known names.

Warren has jumped up! Harris is holding her own.

Big surprise is black men and women support Biden.

Pete is losing ground.

Those at the bottom should just drop out at this point, unless they're auditioning for VP. They won't even be able to participate in the debates, if the DNC institutes some percentage rules.

Last week people were defending Bernie for being a millionaire. Joe just happen to have a few more millions. You can't dismiss one but be ok with the other.

Also, the old tired "paid speech" thing again? Implying that getting paid to speak to groups may automatically corrupt people.

I have no problem with people making money in an honest way. It's behavior that matters. After all, Warren Buffett is a billionaire and he's quite a good guy, in my book. George Soros is mega rich.

Who DOESN'T want to make a lot of money from his work, or even win the lottery? Being poor doesn't mean you're necessarily a better person. Most criminals are poor.
