Biden and Warren in Statistical Tie
“A new poll surveying Democratic Party-leaning voters finds the race to choose the party’s nominee for president in 2020 is as tight as it’s ever been, with the top two contenders sitting in a statistical tie at the moment.
According to an Economist/YouGov pollconducted August 10-13, if the primary elections were to be held today, 21 percent of Democratic voters say they would pick former Vice President Joe Biden to become the party’s nominee. Another 20 percent say their preference would be current Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Sixteen percent said they’d pick Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, while another 8 percent say they’d vote for California Sen. Kamala Harris.”

It depends which poll you read, but the Monmouth University poll shows Warren and Sanders tied at 20% each and Biden at 19% (next closest is Harris at 8%).
Here’s the thing though… both those polls are bogus. Mine is based upon responses from people with landline telephones. 90% of Millennials and Gen X-ers live on our mobile phones. Landliners are dinosaurs! Your poll is internet based and is skewed as hell due to bots and politrolls (a politroll is a paid “operative” of a candidate whose purpose is to bias polls like yours).
Bottom line, even if you combine the two, is that Millennials and Gen X-ers, who lean VERY heavily towards Sanders are WAAAAAY under represented and Biden Dinos are over represented, so it’s not even as close as it looks (unless the DNC rigs the primaries AGAIN!).

Not ‘my’ poll…
The question is; Can any poll be trusted?
