'Former Vice President Joe Biden is steady as a rock in national polling,' writes CNN's ForecasterEnten. 'He could eventually falter, but it seems to me that those counting on it just aren't talking to enough older black voters.'
Poll of the week: A new CNN/SSRS poll shows that former Vice President Joe Biden leads the Democrats among potential Democratic voters nationwide with 28%. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren are in a fight for second at 17% and 14% respectively. South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg comes in fourth at 11%. Other national polling shows Biden with a clear advantage on the Democratic field. What's the point: Biden is steady as a rock in national polling.
This large age gap has existed all primary long, and it's not going away. If anything, our polling is indicating that it is getting larger. The age gap in Biden's support benefits him in a way that I'm not quite sure folks understand. Simply put, there are more older black voters than there are younger black voters. Those 45 years and older made up 60% of all potential black primary voters.
