How do 2020 Democrats stack against Trump?

by Jack Molmud and Michael Cline • February 25, 2020

The DA Poll

Out of all poll recipients, respondents were asked to rank who they think would win in a general presidential election against the incumbent, President Donald Trump. Students had to answer down a line of questions pitting Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg against the incumbent. Bernie Sanders (71.5%) and Elizabeth Warren (64.8%) ranked the highest, but not too far off from the other two Democrats, Joe Biden (63.4%) and Pete Buttigieg (55.9%).
