    1. @J Groovy Biden has been a part of the machine about has long has I’ve been alive. For you to believe he’s first place is you lying to yourself.

    2. cj p – Yes. He has been a “part of the machine” forever. That’s why he has the most name recognition. What place do you THINK he is in, then? Do you think CNN faked the poll? And if so, why? Jeez, dude, do you have a brain? Use it.

    1. The funniest part is that he LOOKS perfect for a billionaire villain in the race. No matter what his policies, that he hasn’t developed yet, become. He is ripe for some funny memes.

    2. The DNC will decide the democrat candidate so it really doesn’t matter who cares about him or anyone else running.

  1. CNN’s attempt to support Biden & Buttigieg while undermining Bernie, Tulsi & Yang is ridiculously sad and obvious.

    1. @Bozorgmehr Hey RUSSIAN TROLL – Biden will beat your ORANGE TOOL IN 202 AND SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY – REPORT THIS TO PUTIN

    2. Just because a news outlet reports on an election or a candidate doesn’t mean they are “pushing” the frontrunner or the particular candidate. News flash – The press is SUPPOSED TO COVER ELECTIONS. Breaking news – Candidates appear on the news to get their message out. News outlets’ EDITORIAL DEPARTMENTS eventually officially endorse a candidate. Then, the editorial department “pushes” the one they endorse. Jeez, if you don’t want politicians and media to treat you like you’re stupid, don’t be stupid and act like you don’t know the BASICS of how government and media work.

    1. @ndgo Bernie sold out before his campaign started by signing the contract with HRC. You people are hopeless. Everyone lies to you and you still believe it because “orange man bad!” Your brains are ate up with TDS! Bernie had no intention of winning but he let you sucka’s waste your time energy and money! Sucka!

    1. @W. S Nope, trump’s last day in the White House is January, 2021. Check out the polls to see how far behind trump really is. *_Warning,_* do *_not_* challenge me on the accuracy of the polls. Jus’ sayin’.

  2. The only real CNN pole is this dislike ratio. Report that.

    Edit: angry commenters calling me a Russian bot because I spelled “Poll” wrong. Literally the only argument you’re gonna find here.

    1. Sofia, you are wrong. The whole world has Russian bots. They all conspire with Putin. Look at all these Polish bots!

    2. Maybe we are not Russian bots….maybe, just maybe, America is fed up with the propaganda and we are expressing our true distaste for it !!!

    1. @B 81 Yeah and let’s not forget how Trump went to the Kremlin and kissed Putin’s ring while receiving a golden shower by every commie politician in Moscow.

    1. Hillary was SOOOO popular in 2016 nobody went to her rallies and no body will give her money now.
      But amazingly Bernie can run again. Almost seems like a giant lie doesn’t it.
      But CNN didn’t say so….and we all know CNN has never lied…CNN said so.

    1. @GIFT1FROM1THE1GODZ no, they go into very democratic areas and poll a small amount of people and call it a “national poll”

    2. Beep Bop

      – An election poll doesn’t say anyone will win. It’s a PERCENT CHANCE. An indicator. When the weatherman says there’s a 70% chance of snow, it means there’s a 70% chance. What percent says a candidate will win? 51%? 75%? Get it?

      – Clinton DID have a 90 something percent chance in 2016. It’s nonsense to say pollsters faked it to help her. If anything, her high poll ratings HURT her chances. People, (especially illegals), don’t like to vote. It’s a hassle. And with the electoral college, folks tend to think their individual vote counts even less. If anything, Clinton’s high poll numbers kept people home on election day.

      – The 2016 polls reflected the popular vote, which Clinton WON. That there was a statistical upset only strengthens the theory that Russian interference affected the outcome.

      – If you think the 2016 polls were fake, what do you think the “real” numbers were? Do you think they all got together and conspired to add 50 points? 40? 60? How many points? Even independent pollsters whose existence depends on a record of accuracy? The fact is, even polls by right-wing groups had roughly the same numbers.

      – Donald Trump actually did pay for fake online polls. He also paid people $50 a piece to attend his first rally.

      – Do you vote, anonymously, with no money at stake, for the most popular candidate? Just to be on the winning side? If so, please don’t vote. You don’t understand the process.

    1. Dearly Diane you guys are running that into the ground…94% of military polled are voting for Trump and that’s the United States military..jus sayin’

    2. @John Carter Let’s talk about polls. The 2016 polls concluded that Hillary was up 48.2% to 46.1%. Hillary got about 3 million more votes than trump thus the 48.2% to 46.1%. Polls don’t take into the account electoral votes. So I say, the polls were spot on.

      In the 2018 midterm elections the polls had the Democrats up in the generic congressional vote by 8.4%. The republicans took a thrashing. The polls were *_spot on._* trump and *_you people_* said that the Big Blue Wave wasn’t going to happen. Surprise, surprise. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2018_generic_congressional_vote-6185.html
      These indicate all who are leading trump in various states.
      He’s trailing many, especially Biden. Now you know why he’s asking for foreign help.

    3. Destination Paradise you can tell you’re a real intellectual, duh Are you taking a break from lightning your farts ?

    4. kingtorta the parents of the 60 or 70 kids killed in Chicago or Baltimore every weekend thought they finally had someone in their corner with Obuma only to find out he never lifted a finger to help in anyway like he promised, of course that’s all democrats do in every election just promise…pathetic

    1. @Joe Daniels Sadly not everybody gets to take a good statistics course in college, and few come away from HS with any sort of understanding, and so yes, it’s easy to mislead or deceive with statistics. I should amend my above statement, coverage of polls is useless… at best, and often harmful. But I think the dislike ratio of this piece has more to do with the conclusions satisfying nobody here, my theory is that mostly partisans spend time commenting on news articles, so any story which gives moderates good press will be unwelcome, regardless of whether or not the article is sound.

    2. Gee…CNN doesn’t say a word about the newest polls showing Trump support exploding from black American voters. Wonder why?

    3. Joe Biden is the candidate with the most name recognition, the longest career, and was Vice President in a two term administration that had a relatively high approval rating. Why the hell would he not be the frontrunner? If you don’t believe the poll is accurate, how do you think he is “really” doing? Is he in third place? Last place? Grow brains, people! The media is there to INFORM YOU, not to tell you what you WANT to hear.

    1. @Hoehner Tim ” Jeff’s a terrific guy, fun to party with , likes them on the young side ” d. trump.
      He was also a maralago member.
      Acosta let Jeff walk and got a trump cabinet position.
      Barr’s father hired Jeff for a teaching position at Dalton prep school.
      He was in a doj federal lock up run by Barr.
      Go figure.

  3. Margin of error: 6% !!!!! Can’t trust this mf cuz apparently everyone’s in a statistical tie for second, except Bernie who’s statistically tied for first

    1. they have to keep raising the margin of error because otherwise they can’t score the statistical outlier results they’re cherry picking for.

    2. Joe Biden is the candidate with the most name recognition, the longest career, and was Vice President in a two term administration that had a relatively high approval rating. Why the hell would he not be the frontrunner? If you don’t believe the poll is accurate, how do you think he is “really” doing? Is he in third place? Last place? Grow brains, people! The media is there to INFORM YOU, not to tell you what you WANT to hear.

  4. Pushing the man who told a supporter “go vote trump” when challenged on his past stance on immigration. So arrogant, Biden loses… hands-down, against trump

  5. Biden is an embarrassment, he can’t get through a single sentence, don’t screw up again Dems. Biden inspires no one, would lose to Trump big time.
