Analysis: Women and older Democrats are far more worried about beating Trump. Both groups also disproportionately back Biden.
A crowd fills Independence Avenue during the Women's March on Washington on Jan. 21, 2017. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow May 23 at 1:52 PM It’s fairly well established that much of the reason former vice president Joe Biden leads the 2020 Democratic presidential primary field is because Democrats think he is the best bet to beat President Trump.
In the field, there are broad differences in support among demographic groups. For example, Sanders does 8 points better with men than women, while Biden does 10 points better with women than men. Warren also does significantly better among voters with a college degree. Both Sanders and Biden do slightly better among those without a degree .
In other words, do you want a nominee that’s a sure thing but who has policy priorities you disagree with, or do you want a candidate with whom you agree but who might have a trickier time beating Trump?
