I'm undecided, because there's bits of all of their campaigns that I like, but so far, none of these five have had a true 'breakaway' moment for me.

While I can't vote democrat, I am surprised Tulsi is not higher up on the poles. She is very logical and has a really good stance on many things. I'm almost wishing she had an R after her name.

Which is why she probably does not appeal to most democrats. You are really surprised about this?

So you will waste votes on candidates like Harris and Warren ? You guys really don't want to win the next election do you ?

I'd run this poll again after the debates. Should narrow it down a little.

Bill Clinton was at 1.7% at this time in the '92 election cycle. Jimmy Carter was also way down in the early polls. I don't think any of this means much when things are at this very early point in the election.

Warren has been steadily gaining--have you ever even listened to her, or just what Trump says about her?

Why is it a 'wasted' vote? She could very well beat Trump--laugh at this at your own risk. I think you underestimate how much educated women, women of color and minorities in general dislike Trump. This is a president who has never had a majority of the country with him and hovers around 60% disapproval, yet you think Warren has no chance? My first choice is Buttigieg, but I'm certainly impressed with Warren at this point. She's incredibly smart and has a plan to back up every idea, as does Buttigieg. No wild promises with nothing solid to back it up.

As Trump says regarding the foreign policy issues he has had to deal with, and never has any idea of the outcome--'we'll see what happens.' But to look at candidates who are gathering steam and receiving standing ovations at their townhalls and speeches, and say voting for them is 'wasting a vote,' is ridiculous.

I could care less what Trump says about Warren, or how smart she is, I disagree with too many of her views. Although, she seems like a better candidate than the Bern.


It's too early to tell, and I think this election will be Trump's to lose, if he changes some things and focuses on some of the main issues I don't think she could beat him. I could see Biden or Gabbard give him a good run though.

Too early for me right now. I want somebody that can actually work with the Republicans and vice versa. That is my concern. I'm not concerned right now about any of the issues like: abortion, the economy, taxes, border security.
I'm looking for a candidate that can change the gridlock in Washington, conservative or liberal...

This is ridiculous. Not only don't you have any idea who I am, but since when does criticizing a notable figure turn into a competition with myself?



Can I not criticize any NBA player because I'm not nearly as good at basketball? geez
