Showing Original Post only (View all)Biden, not Sanders, gains in popularity after Warren drops out: Reuters/Ipsos poll [View all]
ReutersNEW YORK (Reuters) - Elizabeth Warrens departure from the Democratic presidential race appears to have benefited front-runner Joe Biden more than Bernie Sanders, her liberal ally on many issues, according to a Reuters/Ipsos national opinion poll released on Monday.
The poll conducted from Friday to Monday showed that 47% of registered Democrats and independents said they would vote for Biden if their states nominating contests were held today, up 7 points from a similar poll that ran just before Warren suspended her campaign last Thursday.
Thirty percent said they would vote for Sanders, a senator from Vermont, unchanged from the previous poll.
The results suggested that Warrens supporters, rather than gravitating toward Sanders, have fallen in line with Biden, who shifted the dynamics of the race with a commanding victory in the South Carolina primary, followed by wins in most of the Super Tuesday nominating contests last week.
