Mayor Pete is lookin’ pretty strong in the latest polls

Polls, as of today (April 22)

New Hampshire: Sanders 30, Biden 18, Buttigieg 15

Iowa: Biden 19, Sanders 19, Buttigieg 14

That kinda makes Buittigieg the favorite, in that the other two are about 50/50 to still be alive come primary time. Beto O’Rourke seems to have run out of steam, having fallen to 6th in both states. I’m guessing that the Beto crowd has embraced Mayor Pete as their new savior.

The oddsmakers differ in one respect: they still place Kamala Harris above Buttigieg and Biden, and barely beneath Bernie. The polls show Harris barely making a blip on the radar (Iowa 6%, New Hampshire 4%).

Elizabeth Warren is foundering in both the polls and the odds, but she made a bold move today. She hopes to differentiate herself by being the only candidate calling for a Trump impeachment. Given that many Democrats agree with that stance, she hopes that might breathe new life into her campaign. Remains to be seen.

  1. All this just for the opportunity to lose to the incumbent.

    Check the latest news…your “great campaigner” just lost 2 advisers, and fell to 3% in the latest Progressive straw poll. Ouch.

  2. Beto has just begun to campaign. He’s a great campaigner.

    Letting Biden and Bernie peter out, as they are both popular but non starters (Biden has snugglegate, Bernie is both very very old and a proud socialist) with huge war chests. Let them burn some cash, then step in closer to the actual race.
