Top Democrats Beat Trump In General Election Match Ups

September 18, 2019 · 3:13 pm ET · Leave a Comment

A new Democracy Corps (D) survey finds the leading Democratic presidential candidates all defeating President Trump in a general election match up.

Joe Biden leads Trump by 50% to 41%, while Elizabeth Warren leads by 48% to 41% and Bernie Sanders leads by 48% to 43%.

More important: “The percent who say they are ‘extremely interested’ in the election has reached 80%, the highest point in the history of our polling. That is what is actually most interesting about the finding. In all prior cycles, interest in politics drops sharply and grows over the election cycle, put political engagement has jumped 10 points since the mid-terms.”

“Virtually, every registered voter now meets our criteria as ‘likely,’ meaning this election will bring in millions of new voters.”
