Harris Surges Into Second Place Nationally

A new Quinnipiac poll finds Joe Biden leading the Democratic presidential race with 22%, followed by Kamala Harris at 20%, Elizabeth Warren at 14%, Bernie Sanders at 13% and Pete Buttigieg at 4%.

No other candidate tops 3%.

Said pollster Mary Snow: “Round 1 of the Democratic debates puts Kamala Harris and Joe Biden on two different trajectories, as support for Harris surges but continues to slip for Biden. Biden’s once commanding lead has evaporated. There are other red flags for him in areas where he still leads, including double digit drops among Democrats and Democratic leaners who view him as the best leader, or as the best candidate to defeat President Trump in 2020.”
