Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Morning Consult: Biden's National Lead Over Sanders Balloons to 24 Points (59% to 35%)
https://morningconsult.com/2020/03/12/bidens-national-lead-over-sanders-balloons-24-points/A new Morning Consult poll of 2,072 Democratic primary voters finds Biden leading Sanders by 24 percentage points nationwide, up 6 points from a poll conducted before voters in Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi and Missouri handed the former vice president victories on Tuesday.
The latest survey, which was conducted Wednesday and has a 2-point margin of error, finds a continuing generational divide in the Democratic electorate, although Biden has slightly more crossover appeal than Sanders. While 55 percent of voters under the age of 45 back the Vermont independent, 74 percent of those ages 45 and up back Biden.
The poll also shows Biden leading Sanders by 39 points among black voters, 67 percent to 29 percent; by 30 points among suburban voters, 62 percent to 32 percent; and by 26 points each among rural whites and white voters with a bachelors degree. In state after state over the past two weeks, these voters have fueled Bidens victories.

As the public health and economic crisis continues to unfold in the United States and abroad, a recent Morning Consult poll finds voters favor Biden to Sanders when it comes to crisis management: A majority (55 percent) of Democratic primary voters and roughly 2 in 5 registered voters said they trust Biden over Sanders for leadership during a crisis, regardless of whom they were supporting in the race. Voters who helped elect President Donald Trump in 2016 were also roughly twice as likely to say Biden would be better for handling a crisis than Sanders.

that is really something because a few weeks ago all the media and pundits were saying it was all over for Biden.
Love proving them all wrong.
President Biden has a nice sound.
