Today, Daily Kos Founder and Publisher Markos Moulitsas announced the results of the organization’s latest Democratic presidential straw poll of the 2020 cycle. You can view the straw poll here and check out the full results here.
“Since winning the very first Daily Kos presidential straw poll of the cycle back in January, Sen. Elizabeth Warren has demonstrated her steady strength in the Democratic primary field by placing among the top four candidates every single time,” said Moulitsas. “Warren’s 35% showing in this poll is her strongest to date. Both public polling and this straw poll agree that the Democratic field has already been whittled down to the Big Five—Warren; Sens. Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris; Joe Biden; and Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Sanders dropped 10 points this week to 24%, Biden bumped up two to 12%, Buttigieg improved slightly to 10%, and Harris came in at 8%. Meanwhile, the rest of the 24-candidate field combined brought in only about 7% of the vote.”
Daily Kos runs these straw polls every two weeks to track the preferences of the millions of progressives we reach every day.
Daily Kos is the nation's foremost online progressive media and activism hub and leads the way in supporting Democrats across the country, raising over $8.7 million for candidates and campaigns in small, grassroots donations in 2017-2018. We are continuing this crucial work into the 2020 cycle.
