Biden Hits 40% In New Poll

DORCHESTER, MA - APRIL 18: Former Vice President Joe Biden arrives in front of a Stop & Shop in support of striking union workers on April 18, 2019 in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Thousands of unionized Stop & Shop workers across New England walked off the job last week in an ongoing strike in response to a proposed contract which the United Food & Commercial Workers union says would cut health care benefits and pensions for employees.

Former Vice President Joe Biden surged again to earn 40% support in the latest Morning Consult poll released Tuesday.

The presidential primary front-runner had earned 30% support just two weeks ago, but his support increased to 36% in last week’s Morning Consult weekly tracking poll and appears to be increasing exponentially. (RELATED: Tucker Responds To Biden’s Jim Crow Statement: ‘This Guy’s An Idiot’)

Biden also has a 21% lead over his closest rival, Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Sanders used to be much closer to Biden in the polls, but the former vice president’s success has come at the partial expense of the socialist senator, Sanders fell 3 percentage points in the same time that Biden gained 4%.

Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren took up third place, falling 1 percentage point to 8% — just enough to edge out fellow Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris.

South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg fell 2 percentage points for the first time since his rise from obscurity. He earned 6% in the latest poll, which still placed him above former Democratic Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who earned 5% and 3%, respectively.

Biden also dominated in another key metric: media mentions. According to a recent analysis conducted by statistics website FiveThirtyEight. The analysis revealed that cable news networks mentioned the former Vice President 2,232 times in the past month. Although that’s lower than the 3,393 times he was discussed last month, it’s still leaps and bounds above the next highest candidate according to the analysis.

Morning Consult surveyed 15,770 registered voters from April 29 through May 5. The poll had a margin of error of 1 percentage point in either direction.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
