Democratic voters want Hillary Rodham Clinton to make a third try for the presidency, but they’d give the top woman in the party, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the boot, according to a new survey.
The poll of Democratic primary voters, from Pop Polling, revealed a surge for Clinton that put her near the top of their picks for the 2020 presidential race.
The survey found that there are four Democrats that cross the 50 percent mark when voters are asked who they would consider voting for. Former Vice President Joe Biden led the list:
- Former Vice President Joe Biden, 72 percent.
- Sen. Bernie Sanders, 66 percent.
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren, 56 percent.
- Hillary Rodham Clinton, 53 percent.
“For a party that boasts progressivism, you would not expect their top two picks to be old, white, men,” said Vox Populi Polling Managing Director Macy Cambio. “But Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are the top contenders. Notably — the majority of these voters would consider nominating Hillary Clinton, again!”
The survey showed that Democratic voters have anger issues. For example, 80 percent want President Trump impeached.
But they are also ready to shake up the aging leadership in the House, led by Pelosi. Asked if they wanted Pelosi to stay the Democratic leader, 58 percent said she needs to be replaced.
