Wow! A new Morning Consult national poll is out and it doesn’t include Buttigieg or Klobuchar. Joe Biden’s surge is real. He now leads the field.
According to a Morning Consult poll of 961 Democratic primary voters conducted from Monday at 3 p.m. to Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., 36 percent said they’d vote for Biden if the primary or caucus were held in their state today. The latest figure, which has a margin of error of 4 percentage points, marks his highest share of nationwide support since June, and is up 10 points from polling conducted Sunday after his big victory in the South Carolina primary.
The poll found that Pete’s supporters were likely to follow his lead if he endorsed Biden, which he did last night.
Morning Consult polling conducted ahead of the South Carolina primary found that when Buttigieg supporters were asked for their second choice, they were inclined to split their loyalties among the top four candidates for the Democratic nomination. But most of them had also indicated they were likely to follow his lead if he were to endorse Biden, and Sunday’s polling conducted after Biden’s victory found second-choice support moving his way.
These last 2-3 days have been incredible for the Biden campaign. This poll confirms that Biden is entering Super Tuesday with big momentum on his side.
