The 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination still is Biden’s to lose….
He is ahead of Bernie Sanders 2-1….
Former vice president Joe Biden leads Sen. Bernie Sanders in the latest Hill-HarrisX poll released Monday by 19 points, maintaining a clear separation from the rest of the field in the Democratic presidential primary,
Biden won 35 percent support from Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent registered voters in the June 1-2 survey, compared to 16 percent for Sanders (I-Vt.).
South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg was a distant third with 8 percent. He was followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) at 5 percent.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke were supported by 4 percent of respondents while Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) was named by 3 percent.
All of the other Democratic candidates were named by 1 percent or fewer survey participants. Seventeen percent of respondents said they were unsure about their preference.
The results overall are largely similar to a May 17-18 Hill-HarrisX survey which also found Biden with a 19 percent lead over his Vermont-based rival. The former vice president received 33 percent support in the earlier poll while Sanders received 14 percent.
The May survey showed Warren in third place with 8 percent support and Buttigieg in fourth with 6 percent. The shift between the two candidates’ support within the polls is within the surveys’ sampling margins of error….

He has the national lead, which would extend to most states as well, but nobody polling in the mid 30s is looking inevitable.

Biden 2-1 over the field is something one should NOT dismiss….
My Name Is Jack says
I’m neither dismissing it nor accepting it as indicative of much more than he is probably the best known candidate at this point.
