Biden opens up 20-point lead over Sanders in Arizona: poll

[RandySF]

Former Vice President Joe Biden has opened a 20-point lead over his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), in Arizona, according to a poll released a day before the state’s primary.

Biden is backed by 51 percent of likely Democratic primary voters surveyed in the Monmouth University poll released Monday.

Sanders's support is at 31 percent.

Sanders leads Biden among Latino voters, 48 to 41 percent, based on the poll. The senator also has a lead with voters under 50 years old, at 56 to 28 percent.

But Sanders’s support is offset by Biden’s advantage with larger voting blocs in the state, including white voters at 55 percent to Sanders's 26 percent and voters 50 and over, at 64 percent to the senator's 16 percent.

1. There's Bernie's ceiling again... a thorough REJECTION of Socialism.

2. "The senator also has a lead with voters under 50 years old, at 56 to 28 percent."

A vote is a vote and Biden has many more of them. Biden will win, and he will deservedly be our nominee. But that is an amazing statistic. The "under 50" demographic includes a lot more than "college students". 56% to 28% in that broad an age bracket isn't close. That is the future rushing toward us. There is a sea change taking place in America, it just isn't coming to shore in time for this election.

3. Here's a bowl of lovely fresh-picked cherries to soothe the soul.

People grieve in many different ways. See you in November!


Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

4. I prefer darker cherries but those are nice too

I'm not grieving Jackie, but for those who might have wounds I suppose that offering cherries rather than pouring salt is always a good idea. I prefer Bernie but I am more than comfortable with Joe, and I too am pulling for him to pick Kamala.

6. How many of the under 50 will show up when the polls are so dismal?

7. Aside from socialism, it's a thorough rejection of Sanders himself.

8. Absolutely. Many stalwart and loyal Democrats are FED UP with the smears and lies...

Absolutely. Many stalwart and loyal Democrats are FED UP with the smears and lies and denigration of the Democratic party.

9. I want a good study of how they got to Hispanic voters.

We know they have a world-class IT setup, costing several kings' ransoms and far more impressive than anything Sanders himself has ever achieved, completely out of his league.

What I want to know is what the messages targeted to these particular groups have been. We know Sanders lies SOP. We know more than half of Hispanics are conservative. We know those cons need an alternative candidate to Trump who is neither a liberal nor Democrat. We know they were persuaded Sanders is that man.

I just want it written up and on display for everyone to see what he and whomever have been up to.

10. Open borders and demolish ICE

Targeted only in West Coast states. When AOC brought up abolish ICE in Iowa Bernie got mad.

11. Why? He was afraid his social cons would get angry?

Still, Sanders' main theme has never been a positive one. Even the great advances he promises are the candy that can be received only after they first defeat the Democrats.

12. That is simply jaw dropping.
