Well, today, New Hampshire primaries, and the voting has already started in Dixville Notch, which is, of course, this tiny little place in New Hampshire where they vote really early. The first few voters voted surprisingly for Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg's getting some right-in votes, which demonstrates that there is real disquiet. I mean, doesn't demonstrate that much because it's like three voters. But what it does demonstrate is that

there is some pretty significant disquiet inside the Democratic Party about exactly who ought to be

its nominee. A lot of people very, very nervous about Bernie Sanders, as well they should be,

because the new national polling has Bernie Sanders on top, not because he has really gained a lot

of ground, but because Joe Biden is absolutely collapsing in on himself like a dying star. It's unbelievable. I mean, the man is turning into a polling black hole. There are two separate national polls out, and Joe Biden has collapsed in both of them. There's a Quinnipiac poll that came out yesterday. It showed Bernie Sanders up at 25%, which is not honestly like a huge jump for him. Normally, he's somewhere between 20 and 23, so it's like a slight increase for him. But Joe Biden, who normally runs in the low 30s or high 20s, is all the way down at 17% in that Quinnipiac poll. With Michael Bloomberg polling at 15%, he hasn't even run in the primary yet. Elizabeth Warren at 14, Pete Buttigieg at 10, Amy Klobuchar at 4. Okay, and when you break that down by white and black voters, Sanders is actually leading among white voters 2216 over Elizabeth Warren. Among black voters, Biden is still in the lead with 27%. But that's not going to be enough to carry him over the top. That gap between him and the rest of the field has been shrinking steadily. In second place with black voters in that Quinnipiac poll is Michael Bloomberg.

Now, as we'll get to, that may not last for long, depending on the impact of some new audio

that's come out about Michael Bloomberg, talking about his stop and frisk policies in New York,

and largely defending the fact that the impact of the stop and frisk policies just really

kind of disproportionately. disproportionately depends on how you

measure the proportionality fell largely let's say on minority people in new york city we'll get to

audio of of bloomberg talking about that which is creating a stir today bernie sanders is running

in third place only eight percentage points back among black voters in that quinipiac pulse those are good

numbers for bernie sanders those are good numbers for Bernie Sanders

and horrible, horrible numbers for Joe Biden. And that's not the only poll that's horrible for Biden today.

Disastrous poll for Monmouth. The previous poll for Monmouth was January 16th through 20th.

Bernie Sanders has gained only about three points, about 26%. Joe Biden has collapsed 14 points in that poll nationally.

He's now collapsed in most of the polls down to second place, which is a disaster for him.

Because again, his entire pitch was electability.

Joe Biden's entire spiel here was, I'm the person who is most electable.

You have to put me up in a general election because I'm going to win.

The problem is people, when they hear electable, believe that electable is a quality that translates from the primaries to the general. So they get the logic wrong. What Biden was always arguing is that he was the most electable in a general election matchup against Trump. And there's an argument for that even though he doesn't do well in primaries. The problem is that electability is not separated in the public mind between primaries and general election electability.
