Elizabeth Warren surges past Joe Biden in new Quinnipiac poll
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has vaulted to a 7-point lead over former Vice President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary race, according to a poll from Quinnipiac University released Thursday.
It was the fourth consecutive Quinnipiac poll in which Warren came out ahead of Biden. Before September, Biden consistently led Warren in Quinnipiac's surveys, usually by more than 10 percentage points. Warren surged in late September and early October to drop Biden from the lead in the RealClearPolitics polling average for the first time since the race began. Since then, however, Biden has roared back, coming out ahead in every major national poll released after Oct.
When asked who had the best policy ideas, Warren was the pick of 30% of likely Democratic voters, compared with Sanders at 20% and Biden at 15%, according to the Quinnipiac poll. But 28% felt Biden would make the best leader – 24% said Warren and 13% said Sanders – and he continued to lead in the all-important question of who is most likely to beat President Donald Trump.
When asked who performed worst at the debate, Biden was the top pick at 15%. Eleven percent said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, performed the worst.
