Former Vice President Joe Biden is losing his lead over the rest of the 2020 Democratic Party presidential field, according to a new survey.
A poll released Tuesday morning by CNN shows that Biden has lost seven points since April, when he first announced his candidacy. While Biden remains at the top of the pack at 32%, his fellow contenders such as Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, at 18%, and Kamala Harris of California, at 8%, have each gained three points.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is sitting at 7%, after losing a point of support since the last poll.
South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg registered at 5%, a loss of two points, and is currently tied with former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who lost 1%.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio polled under one percentage point, as did former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.
There still might be some good news for Biden within the numbers, however. Among participants who made up their mind about which candidate they support, Biden’s numbers rocket to 43%. Sanders also receives a bump, seeing his share of support rise to 29%.
Both Sanders and Biden also have the highest favorability ratings among potential Democratic voters, at 77% and 76% respectively.
CNN’s poll, conducted through the firm SSRS, used a national sample of 1,006 adults from May 28 through 31. The polls margin error is plus or minus 3.8 points.
