Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Bernie Sanders Surges to Lead in California Propelled by Liberals
(snip)
The Vermont senator, who has had strong support from Latinos and young voters, has been propelled into the top spot by voters who self-identify as very liberal, according to the latest UC Berkeley Institute for Governmental Studies poll, conducted for the Los Angeles Times.
Sanders has support from 26% of voters likely to cast ballots in the states March 3 Democratic primary, drawing support from liberals largely at the expense of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren is now backed by 20% of likely voters, which is down from earlier surveys showing she had 22% in November and 29% in September in the state.
The rest of Californias likely primary voters remain divided among several candidates, which has left the partys front-runner nationally, Vice President Joe Biden, with only 15% in the most populous state.
That cut-off is important in California because, under the state Democratic Party rules, delegates are awarded only to those candidates with at least 15% of the vote statewide or in individual congressional districts. The remaining candidates in the poll are all below that, with former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 7%, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg at 6%, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota at 5%, businessman Andrew Yang at 4% and billionaire Tom Steyer at 2%.

(23,559 posts)2. The assigned political categories strike me as a bit dated.
I don't think I'd self assign any of those categories in the case that I was polled. I'm interested to see the crosstabs- which aren't posted on the institute's website as far as I can tell.
I'm glad that California's primary is much earlier this time around than it was last time.

The word begins to lose its meaning when it's used to describe any movement, lateral, horizontal or otherwise.
But we get it... repetition and consistency are effective tools of branding and propaganda.
