NH-Tel Opinion Research: Biden 33, Sanders 12, Warren 11, Buttigieg/Harris 7

This poll is utter garbage. Maybe Biden is leading in 49 states but the fact that people are using this to bash Bernie and his chances of winning is nonsensical.

Do you seriously believe Biden could win 49 states?

No. But if Biden is actually leading in New Hampshire (should be one of Bernie's best states) then he's probably leading almost everywhere currently. I don't think that's likely to hold.

Good to know that there are still those in the Democratic Party who are pragmatic and understand that defeating Trump is the primary goal and you would do that with the most likely candidate to do so.  And that candidate is Biden.

There is no empirical evidence that Biden is the most likely candidate to beat Trump. That is not a compelling argument for a general election either.

Age distribution is indeed weird, but the results are still in line with Monmouth.

Probably safe to say that Sanders is sitting around the 12-15% mark right now (which is not where he needs to be to have a chance).  We'll see if he can get a rebound going after the debates start.

Gold Standard pollster Monmouth (A+), May 2 to 7, showed similar'ish results:

Biden     36%   vs 33% this poll
Sanders  18%   vs 12%
Buttigieg  9%    vs  7%
Warren    8%    vs 11%
Harris      6%    vs 7%

Age distribution is indeed weird, but the results are still in line with Monmouth.

Agree.
People are overlooking that these results are very similar to the A+ rating of Monmouth.

There is (polling). It just a matter of whether you believe it or you not.

Why not?  This seems very possible.

That's right--we just see poll after poll where he runs the best against Trump.  And that's the reality for now.
