But Elizabeth Warren is back in second place, ahead of Bernie Sanders……
Kamala Harris is way back in 4th place, where she started out before her debate ‘bounce’….

In my view, the Sanders and Warren campaigns will morph into one with or without the blessing of the one knocked out .
The question is when this occurs?
If it happens early ,then that may present real problems for Biden;however, if they drag it out ,then ,whichever one emerges as the “Left” candidate may find themselves too far behind to make up ground.
As of now?Warren is rapidly emerging as the more viable candidate ;however, knowing Sanders ,it would be difficult for him to simply “drop out,” even several losses down the road.
Accordingly, his supporters may,in effect, end his candidacy for him by simply jumping ship; however, the timing could,as I stated, be critical .
If they don’t ‘morph’ into one by March 3rd , 2020….?
It won’t matter…..
And yes….
Warren IS coming across better….
She’s moving up and he’s sliding down and even….
Warren REMAINS in second place ahead of sanders and Harris….
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by just one point in a new Economist/YouGov weekly tracking poll.
Biden sits at 21 percent support in the survey, while Warren is close behind at 20 percent. The next candidate is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) at 16 percent support among voters.
The survey comes as Warren continues to outpace Sanders, the other progressive in the race, and move closer to Biden in other polls.
Biden, by and large, remains the frontrunner in most surveys, but Warren’s rise in the polls comes with the Vermont senator falling from second to third place….

“Polls are one thing, but the energy that is on the ground is most important,” Nina Turner, one of the co-chairs of Sanders’s campaign, said.
The Economist/YouGov poll was conducted on August 10-13 among 1,500 adult U.S. citizens. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.6 percent.
