Opinion: Biden ruling the roost, Sanders’s wings clipped
Former vice president Joe Biden campaigns in a coffee shop in Concord, N.H. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 14 at 3:43 PM Skeptics of former vice president Joe Biden are quick to point out that it is nine months before the first votes are cast. Still, he continues to lead his closest rival Sen. Bernie Sanders by a mile. Everyone else is in single digits.
While on one hand the race seems static, the pollsters note that Sanders has declined with his strongest age group from 39 percent in February to 33 percent now. Biden also is pummeling Sanders with over 65 voters and with other age groups as well. The race is 45 to 14 percent for voters ages 55 to 64, and 41 to 18 percent for those 45 to 54 years old.
Second, it’s entirely possible Warren will pass Sanders. She’s going up in the polls, getting coverage for an endless string of policy ideas and radiating cheeriness. Sanders is simply rerunning 2016. It’s telling that his youngest voters, perhaps bored with the rerun, are beginning to drift away. He compares unfavorably to Warren when it comes to age, demeanor and substance.
