For the first time, a national poll found Elizabeth Warren with a statistically significant lead over Bernie Sanders
Persisting. Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images In the opening weeks of the 2020 primary campaign, it looked like Bernie Sanders might establish himself as the only viable standard-bearer for the Democratic left. Within 24 hours of announcing his candidacy, the Vermont senator had raised nearly $6 million. It would take Elizabeth Warren an entire quarter to raise that much cash; by the time she did, her finance director had already quit in frustration.
Nevertheless, Warren persisted. And while she still lacked the funds to match her most well-heeled competitors in paid messaging, her ostensibly endless supply of inventive policy ideas garnered her campaign a steady stream of earned media — including plaudits from a Fox News host. In recent days, polls have started to show her closing in Sanders.
