Yet, this poll differs from this one,
which shows Biden leading in Iowa and Buttigieg polling where he has been. The break down:
Biden 25%; Sanders 19%; Buttigieg 18%; Warren 13%. No one else hit double digits. So, two polls with two different results. However, it seems Warren is consistent and has stagnated or declined. This is a Suffolk Poll. Both polls interviewed between 450-500 Likely Caucus Goers; MOE is 4.4-4.6%.
Needless to say, polls are showing Sanders leading but with mix results: Biden gets a few there and there.
Brokered convention, here we come.
I don't think so, looking at the next few states, Sanders will likely win New Hampshire while Biden will win both Nevada and South Carolina. After Super Tuesday, it'll be a two-horse race.

I don't really believe the Emerson poll, but it's kinda nice I guess.
^^538 forecast has Sanders more likely to win in Nevada. If he wins Iowa and New Hampshire he wins Nevada and the nomination.

Indeed. Iowa is a wild card and Sanders will win NH though Nevada can go either way too. SC seems to be in Biden's hands unless he really chokes his campaign.

It seems to be an outlier as other polls show a much closer race though it does trend in the direction of Sanders gaining while Warren declines; Buttigieg and Biden maintain.

Is it just me, or does the American election season take too damn long?
How much time before the Democratic nominee is actually chosen?

Democrat's being divisive is truly the greatest gift to Republicans.

The convention is from July 13th through the 16th, but a clear winner
could emerge well before that, in the late spring.

In all likelihood, we should have the answer sometime in late March or early April as to who it'll be. They'll be officially nominated this summer at the convention.

Maybe we can pull a 1968 and nominate somebody completely random. Like fuck it let's just make Al Gore president. Or Oprah. Or Marianne Williamson.

Considering the size of the country it's not that long. The primary process takes place from February though June, although due to the nature of the race a presumptive winner will likely emerge long before June. Then the two candidates will have the summer and autumn to campaign for the election in early November.

It feels that way because a bunch of puppy hating impatient folks can't keep their pants on and start these kinds of discussions before the ballots are even cast for the previous race.
Mark my fucking words, someone will start asking about the 2024 election before the 2020 is ever settled.

Hell, John Delaney announced his candidacy for president on
July 28, 2017.
Also, Biden was literally asked whether or not he would run for president in 2024 during one of the debates. And he isn't even the oldest candidate.

It's not just Democrats, it's the curse of the Left worldwide, a ridiculous superiority complex where we all think that we have The Only Way to Enlightenment and cancel deviationists.

2024 is already being discussed, for the Republicans at least. There is Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Ivanka / Donald Trump Jr, Ron DeSantis, and Tucker Carlson.

Tucker Carlson? Good lord. Might as well nominate Newt Gingrich again just for the hell of it.

That's not even a federal issue, as AFAIK all laws against prostitution exist at a state level.

Mike Pence is a terrible choice unless all you want to win is Evangelicals.

I mean if the ongoing Democratic primary is any indication, Pence will immediately win over Trump's base on nature of being Trump's VP.
Of course, I don't know how the politics of that will play out if Ivanka or Don Jr. run.

Thats part of the reason I hope Trump is convicted.
