FILE - In this June 17, 2019, file photo, Democratic presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, speaks in Washington. A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs finds majorities of Democratic voters saying gender, race and age make no difference in their enthusiasm about a candidate. Instead, Democratic voters are overwhelmingly looking for experience in elected office.
Twenty-five candidates are running for the party’s nomination and include several women, a Latino, multiple candidates of African and Asian descent, and a 37-year-old gay man less than half the age of the 76-year-old early front-runner, former Vice President Joe Biden. But most Democratic voters say these characteristics make no difference in their enthusiasm, the poll shows.
Still, there are differences in enthusiasm among Democratic voters. Liberal and younger Democrats are more likely to be excited about voting for a candidate who is black, Latino or Asian, and a candidate who is a woman. The poll also shows there’s great potential for the debates Wednesday and Thursday to shake up the field because many voters have yet to fully tune in.will get a chance to take their messages directly to a national prime-time audience from the stage in Miami.
Banks said she has only a “vague” idea of who’s running and didn’t realize her state’s senior senator, Michael Bennet, or former governor, John Hickenlooper, was in the race. Adam Pratter, 43, of San Diego, is being strategic. He has studied up on the five candidates leading in the polls but studiously ignored the rest.Pratter, who is white, is rooting for Buttigieg. He’d love to see a woman or person of color in the White House, but he’s nervous that voters will choose Trump again. “I’m extraordinarily anxious,” he said.
