No surprise in a Biden lead….
Biden is at 24%…
Sanders is at 15%
Warren is at 14%

Warren is gaining on Sanders….
We’re only about six months out from the nomination vote there….
Joe Biden leads as the top choice of likely participants in the first-in-the-nation Iowa Democratic caucuses, but his advantage there is smaller than the one he has held in recent national polling, even as just five candidates out of a field of 23 crack 5% support.
A new CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll conducted by Selzer and Co., finds Biden leads among both those who plan to participate in the caucuses the traditional, in-person way, or via a new process for caucusing virtually.
Overall, 24% say they favor the former vice president, with 16% backing Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, 15% Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and 14% South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. California Sen. Kamala Harris rounds out the five over 5% with 7% support….

One of the things I will be looking for this election is electability, and we’ll have a better picture of that in six months. But if you ignore electability, I currently find Sanders (love his passion and his emphasis on economic justice), Warren (love her passion and brilliance) Mayor Pete (no one is better at interviews, likeable) and Klobuchar (sensible on immigration, likeable) not necessarily in that order – as the most appealing candidates. This list will almost certainly change in six months.
Joe Biden is currently in the lead in electability by a good measure over the field ….
