Beto O’Rourke Leading The 2020 Dem Presidential Sweepstakes

Beto O’Rourke

As was expected, the Dem presidential nomination fight began in earnest the day after the November 2018 elections with several Democrats either outrightly declaring their intention to run for president in 2020 or strongly hinting at that.

Several months prior to the November 2018 elections, Yours Truly began running the popular #Dem2020Poll to gauge who grassroots Democrats favored as their presidential nominee in 2020. The results of the #Dem2020Poll initially showed Senator Kamala Harris(D-CA) and Rep Joe Kennedy III as the top contenders for the 2020 Dem presidential nomination with more people favoring a Harris/Kennedy ticket.

However in May 2018, following speculation that former Vice President Joe Biden was considering a presidential run, he immediately shot to the top of the #Dem2020Poll with most people preferring a Biden/Harris ticket.

In September 2018 Sen Kamala Harris shot back to the top of the Dem 2020 presidential sweepstakes due to the Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings.

Well it appears everything has changed after the November 2018 elections and grassroots Democrats now overwhelmingly want Texas Democrat Beto O’Rourke to either head the 2020 presidential ticket or be someone’s running mate.

At this juncture it is also important to address the Bernie Sanders issue. Yours Truly has deliberately left him out in previous #Dem2020Polls because he is not a registered Democrat. This issue has caused a lot of controversy and division among grassroots Dems so for the sake of party cohesion, Bernie Sanders now features in all the polls. Beyond the party cohesion argument, reasonable people will agree that a #Dem2020Poll without Bernie Sanders is not realistic/credible because like him or not, he has a lot of support among registered Democrats.

Bottom line 2020 is still very far away and a lot of twists and turns are bound to take place. As Trump himself regularly says, “We’ll see what happens.”

Kamala Harris Back On Top Of The 2020 Dem Prez Sweepstakes

Joe Biden & Sen Kamala Harris(D-CA)

In case you missed the latest #Dem2020Poll, it appears Senator Kamala Harris(D-CA) is back on top of the 2020 Dem presidential sweepstakes.




You will remember that at the beginning of our #Dem2020Poll, Sen Kamala Harris consistently won the poll especially when paired with Rep Joe Kennedy III. Biden then came along and took the lead from Senator Harris right around May 2018 and has stayed in the lead ever since.

This recent poll putting Harris on top is most likely the result of Sen Harris’ stellar performance at the Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings where she pestered the nominee with pointed questions about a whole host of issues most notably the ongoing Mueller probe.

Bottom line 2020 is still very far away and a lot of twists and turns are bound to take place. Yours Truly is also very aware of your usual refrain, “Let’s worry about the Midterms first.”–a valid critique. Folks, just relax and play along will you?

#Dem2020Poll Status Report–Biden Still Leading But….

Yours Truly recently concluded after analyzing the various #Dem2020Poll results that Joe Biden was the leading Dem in the 2020 presidential nomination sweepstakes(#BidenTheory). Shortly thereafter the Mainstream Media, reached a similar conclusion–#Dem2020Poll is the real deal folks!!




After several iterations of the #Dem2020Poll it appears Biden is still ahead of the 2020 pack of likely Dem nominees. Interestingly grassroots Dems are very receptive to a Joe Biden/Sen Kamala Harris ticket in 2020(more so than Joe Biden/Rep Joe Kennedy III)

However there’s a “but” to the #BidenTheory and that is, it appears there are a lot of grassroots Dems who for whatever reason, (age being the most prevalent) don’t want him on the 2020 ticket.

It will be interesting to see what changes, if any, happen to the #BidenTheory in a month’s time, especially now that Trump is ramping up attacks on Sen Elizabeth Warren.

Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

Is Sen Warren the Dem Trump is most afraid of? Would grassroots Dems prefer an all-female Liz Warren/Kamala Harris ticket?Hmm–As Trump himself regularly says, “We’ll see what happens.”

Michael Avenatti Running For Prez In 2020

Attorney Michael Avenatti

Attorney Michael Avenatti who has become a household name for his fearless attacks on Trump and his long time lawyer Michael Cohen over their cobduct regarding pornstar Stormy Daniels(his client), has apparently made a July 4, 2018 announcement that he is willing to run for President in 2020 if Trump is the GOP nominee.


This is undoubtedly music to the ears of grassroots Dems who have been urging Avenatti to run for President (#Avenatti2020) because they believe his fearlessness towards Trump will work well for him in 2020 against the inevitable attacks by TeamTrump.  There are a lot of upsides to a potential #Avenatti2020 but Yours Truly will focus at the moment on the effect of Avenatti’s announcement on our #Dem2020Poll analysis.


When we first began the popular #Dem2020Poll, it was very clear that grassroots Dems were excited about Sen Kamala Harris and Rep Joe Kennedy III and wanted them to run together, with Harris on top of the ticket.

Roughly around mid-May 2018 we saw a shift towards Joe Biden with most grassroots Dems favoring either a Biden/Harris or a Biden/Kennedy ticket. Various iterations of #Dem2020Poll have shown that Biden/Harris is slightly popular than Biden/Kennedy but that overall grassroots Dems prefer Biden on top of the 2020 Dem presidential ticket(#BidenTheory)

With Avenatti officially in the 2020 mix, the question now becomes will he upend the prevailing #BidenTheory(topple Biden) or will grassroots Dems prefer him as Biden’s running mate? Also how will Avenatti’s entry affect the other two prominent contenders Sen Harris and Rep Kennedy III?

As always, Yours Truly with the vibrant #Dem2020Poll community will get to the bottom of all these pressing questions for the benefit of the DNC– and the #MSM who’ll never admit it but are deeply captivated by the highly civilized, exceptionally well informed #Dem2020Poll community.

Biden The New Dem Favorite For 2020

Ever since Yours Truly started doing the #Dem2020Poll Sen Kamala Harris has consistently came out on top as the Dem grassroots voters wanted to be the presidential nominee in 2020. The results of the #Dem2020Poll consistently showed that Sen Harris was the “Dem Darling“.

This was especially so when paired with Rep Joe Kennedy III



Lately however, a new dynamic is taking shape with grassroots voters picking former VP Joe Biden over Sen Kamala Harris, as their preferred Dem presidential nominee in 2020.As you can see Biden edges out Harris in this May 19 head to head matchup. As recently as May 4 Harris was beating Biden in a head to head matchup (see first picture above)

Biden/Kennedy2020 also appears to be more popular than Harris/Kennedy2020 which was previously unbeatable.

Interestingly, latest results from #Dem2020Poll also appear to suggest that grassroots Dems want Biden to run with either Kamala Harris or Joe Kennedy in 2020

Which of the two tickets, Biden/Kennedy2020 or Biden/Harris2020 is the hottest is still up for debate but you can rest assured Yours Truly will dig into it. Bottom line, most grassroots Dems at the moment believe Biden is the guy to take on Trump/Any other GOP nominee in 2020. It will be interesting to see what other twists and turns take place with #Dem2020Poll as we approach the 2020 elections.
