Campaign 2020: Democratic Voters’ Interest and Knowledge

With a crowded field of more than 20 candidates, the first Democratic debate of the 2020 presidential primary election will be held on June 26 and 27, 2019 in Miami. Ahead of the debate, only 22% of those who say they are registered to vote and identify as a Democrat or lean Democratic say they know a lot about where the Democratic candidates stand on the issues, while 62% know a little. Fifteen percent of Democratic voters say they know nothing at all.

A large number of these self-reported Democratic voters say they are interested in the 2020 presidential election, but only 35% say they’re paying much attention so far. Thirty-six percent have started to pay some attention to the campaign and 29% haven’t paid much attention at all. CONT.
