Sanders has a clear lead in the NBC/WSJ poll (27%).

They then polled head-to-head matchups with Bloomberg (14%) and Buttiegieg (13%), but not Biden (15%) and Warren (14%)?

What?
Here are the numbers for preferred candidates in the poll.
And here are numbers for combined first and second choices -- Bernie again out front at 45%, but Warren and Buttiegieg tied at 29%, Biden at 25%, Bloomberg at 23%, Klobuchar at 21%.

Really odd to single out Buttiegieg and Bloomberg as the only viable challengers to Sanders.
They then polled hypothetical matchups between Trump and Sanders, Buttiegieg, Bloomberg, Biden and Klobuchar ... but not Warren?

Here's the story of the meeting in April 2017.

And then in February 2018, Rohrabacher and Trump were going to meet again, but John Kelly stepped in and blocked it.

LBJ not only voted for the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960; he helped ensure their passage as Senate Majority Leader.

As president he took JFK's bill, stalled in Congress, made it *much* stronger and pushed it to passage.

Also, your LBJ quote is fake.
For all of you who are blocked by Owens, here's the tweet.

I'm honestly impressed she could pack this much wrong into a single tweet.
My mentions are now filled with people who insist the quote is real and easily available on YouTube but no, they can’t find it right now, so shut up.

If a reporter reaches out to you about a tweet of yours, that means they want to know more about the topic in the tweet and think you might be an expert who can help them.

If they just cared about the tweet, they’d just quote the tweet.
Jesus Christ, that was quick.
I think just to be safe, no one else should politely DM this man, or gently quote tweet him, or even retweet him, or you know, make eye contact or any audible noises in a three block radius.

In data from @FiveThirtyEight and GDELT tracking, #Biden is leading TV mentions. This is pushing down poll numbers for other candidates.

Biden - 4,317
Sanders - 461
Warren - 1,090
Harris - 146
Buttigieg - 88
O'Rourke - 118
Booker - 142
Klobuchar - 47
Yang - 41
Castro - 21
These numbers should embarrass the MSM. #Harris is polling 4th yet she has less than 2% of #Biden's mentions, only 10% of #Warren's. #Buttigieg is polling right behind Harris and he has only half her mentions. Yet #Booker is almost equal to Harris. While #Castro--almost nothing.
The week showed a big drop in mentions for #Harris and #Sanders, despite high profile appearances for both on major TV shows. The disconnect is striking, particularly since both have rolled out new policy and important changes in their campaigns.

NBC/WSJ poll asked Dems whether they were enthusiastic, comfortable, have some reservations, very uncomfortable, or "Don't know name" of candidates. Results by category:
This is not a horse-race, but simply ordered listing of where each candidate fell on each category

ENTHUSIASTIC:
Warren 35
Bernie 25
Biden 23
Buttigieg 19
Harris 13
COMFORTABLE:
Biden 41
Sanders 37
Warren 35
Harris 35
Buttigieg 30

NBC/WSJ Poll: Trump approval drops five net points, falling to 43-55 (was 45-52).

This is Trump's worst net approval (-12) since April 2018.

While Trump has a 43% approval, only 40% will either definitely or likely vote for him - again below his approval. That's bad for Trump.
NBC/WSJ Poll - Favorability numbers:

Trump 39-53
Biden 34-38
Bernie 37-40
Warren 31-32
NRA 40-41
Planned Parenthood 52-27

That represents Trump's lowest net favorable rating since December 2018, and Warren is still unknown by 17% of Americans.
NBC/WSJ Poll on gun control:

Do you favor...

Expanding background checks 89-10
Red flag laws 76-22
Voluntary gun buybacks 75-23
Banning semi-automatic guns 62-37
Banning all handguns 25-75

You can see the line in the sand here between banning semi-automatic and ALL handguns.

As I first wrote several weeks ago would happen, the Democratic debates have restructured the polling, putting, as I predicted, @KamalaHarris and @ewarren within striking distance of @JoeBiden.

Biden 22%
Harris 17%
Warren 15%
Sanders 14%
Buttigieg 4%

cnn.com/2019/07/01/pol… …
Months of assertions that #Biden was "inevitable" have been eviscerated. Unable to stand up to #Harris at the debates, Biden appeared tired, confused and unprepared, despite having been kept away from major events for weeks by his handlers. Harris has been campaigning daily.
#Warren won the first debate handily, with only @JulianCastro and @CoryBooker offering any other strong moments in the two hour debate.
The new rankings put #Harris and Warren in the lead for most electable and many are already talking about Harris/Warren as the 2020 ticket.

#Biden slumps, #Buttigieg soars, tied with #Sanders and #Warren, #Harris next in benchmark #Iowa poll thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Critical point here is that the MSM is claiming that #Sanders "came within a handful of votes" of #HillaryClinton, when he lost in a landslide of 4M votes, 1k pledged delegates (not SDs) and a dozen states.

This false narrative harms #Sanders--it's meant to highlight how badly he's doing in 2020 and prop up #Biden. But Sanders is actually doing better than in 2016. There are just more players. And Biden is being replaced by a younger centrist, #Buttigieg.
