Democrats' path to 2020 victory paved with questions, writes ABC News' RickKlein.
That's a key takeaway from the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll numbers out Monday morning. Consider: 55% of voters -- including 30% of self-described conservatives -- said they will definitely not support President Donald Trump for reelection, with Trump's approval rating stuck at 39% despite the strong economy.
Democratic voters are divided over whether they think they need a candidate who can energize their own base or motivate independents, and on whether they want a candidate close to them on issues or one who has the best chance of beating Trump. Monday, more than 400 nurses will protest in front of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America headquarters in Washington in support of Sanders' Medicare for All bill.
The former vice president will appear in Pittsburgh at Teamsters Local 249 Monday afternoon -- his fourth event speaking to union workers in recent weeks, following speeches to the International Association of Fire Fighters, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Construction and Maintenance and rallying striking United Food and Commercial Workers in Boston.
