Media darling Beto O’Rourke comes 3rd in new poll of 2020 Democratic hopefuls washex.am/2Fek13I
The current favorites to face President Trump in 2020 are former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., according to a new Morning Consult/POLITICO survey. Biden came in first place with 26 percent of the vote, and Sanders clocked in at 19 percent.
Cable news hound Michael Avenatti meanwhile shared last place (0 percent) with former Massachusetts Gov. @DevalPatrick and former Attorney General @EricHolder, which is about as embarrassing a thing as I can imagine for Patrick and Holder.
Aside from what appears to be a growing favorable response to the media-instigated “Betomania,” another notable takeaway from the survey is that 21 percent of Democratic respondents said they “don’t know” or had “no opinion” when asked to rank the 18 supposed White House hopefuls
From a relatively obscure member of the House to a leading 2020 Democratic contender, it has been one heck of a year for O'Rourke. All it took was a failed $110 million-dollar Senate challenge and reams and reams of flattering news coverage.
