She’s not running for president — yet — but Hillary Clinton was the top choice for Democratic voters in the Harvard-Harris national poll released last week.

Mrs. Clinton drew 21%, followed by former Vice President Joseph R. Biden with 20%, when registered Democrats were asked whom they would support for the 2020 party presidential nod if she and former Secretary of State John Kerry were added to the mix.

Placing third in the hypothetical race was Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders at 12%, followed by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 9% and ex-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at 7%.

The online survey of 1,859 voters was conducted Nov. 27-29, a few days after Mr. Bloomberg entered the race, by the Harris Poll, and released by the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard.

In the current primary field without Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Biden led the pack with 29%, followed by Mr. Sanders with 16%, Ms. Warren with 13% and Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 8%. Both Mr. Bloomberg and Mr. Kerry drew 5%.

The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, Mrs. Clinton told BBC last month that she had no plans to enter the 2020 contest, although she added, “I never say never to anything.”

“I will certainly tell you, I’m under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it,” she said. “But as of this moment, sitting here in this studio talking to you, that is absolutely not in my plans.”

The former secretary of state lost to Republican Donald Trump in 2016 by 304 to 227 electoral votes, although she carried the popular vote by about 3 million.

Hillary isn't getting in so get ready for Biden to be Democratic nominee. He has nearly the same level of support and nobody even comes close. He has the donors, friends in the media and a famous name.
He'll lose to Trump, but I don't know why people have been in denial for so long about him becoming dem nominee. Yeah he's old, but so is Trump, Sanders and Hillary.

I'm kind of looking forward to Biden losing because they go off their rocker when they lose, and Biden is already nuts to start with. If you think weird stuff comes out of his mouth now, just wait until he loses a presidential election to The Bloviator. I'd pay to watch him sit with Chris Wallace and ramble for a couple of hours after that.

1800 people is what, 38 people per state? Assuming they’re all real, which on the internet... who knows?

National and trusted poll or not, this seems like a publicity stunt more than anything actually useful.

 

[MidUSA]

This time it really IS, HER, TURN.

 

[crocodilian]

I really hope that's not true because if this is the final lineup of possible DNC nominations I already know who's going to win and it's going to be a very boring election.

Don't be so discouraged, the Democrats have ensured their top four candidates are a treasure trove of laughs. Warren, Bernie, Hilldawg and Biden are ripe for mockery (Biden in particular can't refrain from sperging out when provoked), all have immense baggage going into the race and will get slaughtered faster than cochon de lait by either the right-leaning media, social media or the president. Probably all three if they say/do something outrageously stupid. If you're here for entertainment the odds are looking good.

I’m under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it,

So she’s started hallucinating, very troubling.

 

[Manwithn0n0men]

yeah the only excitement left is seeing who gets kicked out of the clown car next

Edit lol: she still technically has time in quite a few states but I'm not sure if she has enough of them to actually win the primary

If it gets to a second Ballot her Super-Delegate cronies come in

So she’s started hallucinating, very troubling.

Just a reminder that *this guy* is the most likely democratic candidate right now.

 

[byuu]

It's literally just an online poll with under 2000 participants. How is that news worthy?
I've seen random strawpolls with more participants.

Yessss, do iiiittt, I want it to become a pattern in US electoral history that every ~60 years or so the Democrats will inevitably get so butthurt over an election they declare an outright re-match 4 years later, only to lose even harder. It happened with William Jennings Bryan vs. William McKinley in 1896 and 1900, and with Adlai Stevenson vs. Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956. Both times it was the straw that broke the pack of the party establishment and forced some kind of re-structuring. Let's do it again!

So the actual poll was "between Hilldawg, Bloomberg, and John Kerry"? What the fuck does Kerry have to do with anything?

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE]

To be fair, I'd take her over Trump any day.

Stupid bitch. Ur troll game is so weak. Get raped.

Referencing the kind of limp-dicked candidate Democrats put up the last time they started giving up on an election against a Republican with a bit of an ongoing opinion problem? Only W wasn't boasting of a 95+% intra-party approval rating back in 2003.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

That's STILL more people that WOULDN'T vote for her versus who would.

Everyone needs to learn how to analyze stats. On the same line, more people voted against her than for her in 2016. She didn't win anything in any way that actually mattered.

 

[Iron Hamster]

It's all about the benjamins

 

[Spastic Colon]

Look at who donates the most money to political campaigns. Then look at which candidates suck up to them the most. That is who gets nominated and who gets elected. As if peons voting has anything at all to do with who gets elected.

 

[It's HK-47]

"Poll finds Clinton edges Biden, Sanders."

Well there's a mental image I never asked for.

 

[Ira the Weatherman]

This says more about how awful the current Dem line-up looks to even the card-carrying Liberals than it is a ringing endorsement of Clinton.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Clinton may be banking on a hung convention and then getting the nomination woodrow wilson style.

If they tried that nowadays the riots at the 1968 convention will look mild in comparison.
