'We’re going to see people drop out, and with that votes will shift,' said Spencer Kimball, director of Emerson College Polling.
While President Donald Trump has spent a fair bit of his tenure with approval ratings below 50 percent, a poll out this week indicates that most of the 2020 potential Democratic candidates would face a tight race against the president.
"It seems a lot of candidates have entered the field earlier than normal," Kimball said later."We’re going to see people drop out and with that votes will shift." The survey further found that among Democratic primary voters, Biden and Sanders were the front-runners, each garnering 26 percent support. They were followed by Harris ; O'Rourke ; Warren ; South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg ; and Senator Cory Booker .
"That Sanders coalition that came together, it’s still there in 2020," Kimball said."He’s got a strong base, and if we take any lesson way from 2016 it’s that a strong base can take you through the nominating process."
