Joe Biden's Lead in Democratic Primary
Expands to Widest Margin in Months.
A new CNN poll conducted by
research company SSRS shows the former
Vice President's lead as the most significant since April.
According to the poll, 34 percent of registered Democratic
or Democratic-leaning voters support Biden's bid
for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.
Biden has seen a boost of support
from racial and ethnic minority
registered voters. Support from that
demographic is up nearly 15 percent.
Older voters and moderate or
conservative Democrats have
also increased their support
for the former Vice President.
The poll reveals that voters currently believe
Biden is best suited to handle major issues
including foreign policy, the economy,
immigration and gun policy.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA, D.)
emerged as the candidate most voters
want to hear more about, according to the poll.
She leads Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT, D.) by
a few points for second place, though
the margin of error attributed to the
poll evens out the discrepancy
