Another Poll Shows Big Bounce for Biden

A new CNN poll shows Joe Biden’s “announcement of a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination earned him an 11-point polling bounce, leaving him head and shoulders above the rest of the Democratic candidates.”

The survey shows Biden with 39%, up from 28% who said the same in March. That puts Biden more than 20 points ahead of his nearest competitor, Sen. Bernie Sanders — who holds 15% support in the poll — and roughly 30 points ahead of the next strongest candidate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (8%).
