Gee, there’s a shocker.

Given that he was preferred by a hearty 0% of Democratic primary voters, per the latest Fox News poll, you have to think that his exit was imminent.

538 has an analysis of this with a great headline: “Why Bill de Blasio’s Campaign Failed (Hint: Nobody Liked Him)”

On the other hand: there are other zero percenters (from that Fox Poll) still in the race, including Julian Castro, who is still qualified for the debates.

SIDEBAR: Marianne Williamson was in a category by herself. While some low-tier candidates like de Blasio had preference scores that rounded to zero percent, Williamson literally had zero percent – not a single supporter. That may have had something to do with using mind power to ward off hurricanes.

  1. To me, the big news is how poorly Kamala Harris is doing. A recent Emerson poll actually showed with less support than Andrew Yang in her home state of California.

    I really thought she was going to be the breakout candidate in this race. Instead, Democratic voters prefer one of the three white seventy-somethings (Biden, Warren, Sanders). Young Democratic voters seem to prefer Sanders and Warren by a wide margin — I guess because those two are promising the most free stuff.

    1. Trump promises his supporters a lot of free stuff: his tariffs that favor certain workers while raising prices for consumers.

      This is in addition to the free stuff that Republicans have long given their favored voters: military contractors, farmers and polluters who make everybody else pay for their pollution.

  2. Now I’m almost hoping Castro sticks til the next debate. Someone has to point out that Joe is playing hockey with a warped puck, no one else seems willing.
