… There was a poll released Monday by Monmouth University that looked at national views of the declared and possible 2020 candidates including, in this roiling pool of pols, several candidates who’ve recently decided against running. …
One big takeaway from this poll is that Sanders saw a big jump since Monmouth’s January poll, climbing nine points after his campaign launch. No one else saw any significant change.
Of course, Biden hasn’t declared his candidacy yet. With a strong launch and good fundraising numbers, he might climb further relative to Sanders. (Or he might not.) But Monmouth asked an interesting additional question: Where would your vote go if Biden doesn’t run? CONT.
