I'm not at all but I also like this about Pete.
same poll in handy tweet form (but you miss out on the user friendly subtabs, although the sample isn't really big enough for subtabs).https://twitter.com/marcushjohnson/status/1115413421770588161
Is the Biden appeal like 95% Obama-related? I don't see at all how he fits into the vision for the modern Democratic Party.
I've said this before but didn't look up the numbers to back it up. Polls this time in the cycle, historically, have been a horrific indicator of who the nominee will be. The last three elected Democrats have trailed by a lot at this point.

A lot of those moderate democrats, particularly between Pennsylvania and the Rockies, voted for the Republican because the Democrat was not likeable or relatable. I also think that the current administration has pushed the party left. I don't think fighting the current administration with centrism will energize the base. It's also going to be tough to raise money as a centrist running against a field of liberals. That being said, I don't see the union's endorsing the Bernie wing of candidates. Whomever gets the AFL-CIO to love them as much as they love Joe will have a strong leg up.
