I would not say he's more popular than Biden, who's leading in all these polls and has higher favorability ratings than Bernie.

And all the polls that show Biden leading are skewed to have him leading because they usually exclude the people who actually would vote for Bernie Sanders. I.E Young People and Independents

There is no point in worrying about polls right now. It's all about name recognition and that doesn't tell us anything about who will win primaries in 2020.

Quinnipiac favorabilities: https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2591 Joe Biden at 53% to 33% Bernie Sanders at 44% to 42% Elizabeth Warren at 30% to 37% Michael Bloomberg at 22% to 32% Hillary Clinton at 32% to 61% Beto O’Rourke at 24% to 20%, with 55% who haven’t heard enough Cory Booker at 22% to 26%, with 51% who haven’t heard enough Kamala Harris at 20% to 22%, with 57% who haven’t heard enough Kirsten Gillibrand at 14% to 17%, with 68% who haven’t heard enough Sherrod Brown at 12% to 9%, with 77% who haven’t heard enough Trump at 40% to 56%

So it's safe to say Joe Biden is the most popular politician in America?

No, Bernie is. He has a 63% approval rating and his policies have 70%+ approval ratings. And it's natural for for someones poll numbers to go up right after leaving office, Biden's popularity is pretty much just an effect from his notoriety.

63% nationwide or in Vermont?

Nationwide

If you're referring to the Morning Consult poll where he has a 63% approval rating, that's referring to polling within their own state, not the entire nation. https://morningconsult.com/2018/10/10/americas-most-and-least-popular-senators-10-10/

Hmm, so Biden IS the most popular politician at the moment.

Inslee hasn't announced yet, it's just a PAC right now

HA! Julián Castro polling at 0.00%. Impressive. Why is he even thinking about running?

Sanders/Gabbard or Sanders/O'Rourke 2020

More like No'Rourke

Omg Tulsi's running

Too many good candidate actually announcing they're running, I'll probably remove the ones I currently have and wait for You Know Who to officially announce a run

Too many good candidate actually announcing they're running, I'll probably remove the ones I currently have and wait for You Know Who to officially announce a run I hope you aren't referring to Tulsi. Her embrace of Assad is disqualifying.

I'm referring to the currently announced Tulsi Gabbard, Elizabeth Warren, Richard Ojeda, Andrew Yang, Micheal Arth, Marianne Williamson, and of course the one teasing all Progressives Bernard Sanders

I hope you aren't referring to Tulsi. Her embrace of Assad is disqualifying. As opposed to your "great choice" Joe Biden who: •Voted to Repeal Glass-Stegall •Voted for NAFTA •Voted for The Iraq War •Voted for the PATRIOT ACT •Lost the Democratic Nomination Twice •And gave war criminal George W Bush a Liberty Medal •Consisyltantly advocates nothing except for the Neoliberal Status Quo over any actual progressive change. Yeah he's the greatest choice ever..... Supporting free trade is not even comprable to Tulsi's embrace of Asaad. Don't let your ideology blind you to such a ridiculous ideology

Supporting free trade is not even comprable to Tulsi's embrace of Asaad. Don't let your ideology blind you to such a ridiculous ideology Yeah, his votes that caused: •The Crash of 2008 •The loss of at least 1.5 Million Jobs •At the lowest 460,000 deaths •And the destruction of our 4th Amendment Rights Yeah, But Tulsi wants to end US involvement in Syria, that's the bad thing....

Maybe there's a reason some sites ban Presidential Primary discussion.

Probably, but young lefties gotta feel confident and secure somewhere. Life will teach them.

We'll I'm just trying to explain the truth that Biden is a terrible candidate and a Progressive is the best choice, and my point has yet to be actually refuted.

Sorry RP, I'm not gonna help anything... Someone could give you irrefutable evidence and you wouldn't accept it. Calling your own opinion "truth" doesn't make it so. And you've made up your mind about who you prefer as evidenced by the fact that you list Ojeda and then a bunch of nobodies among your ideal choices. This is the real world where winning is a hell of a lot better than purity and you'll accept that in about 10 years but for now I imagine you'll just down vote this and reply with some unjustified overconfidence in your own ideology.

Nobody's giving me the irrefutable evidence you speak of. I only say what I say because the evidence points to it. Progressive policies like Medicare-For-All have 70% approval ratings https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/403248-poll-seventy-percent-of-americans-support-medicare-for-all While net saving us money https://www.thenation.com/article/thanks-koch-brothers-proof-single-payer-saves-money/ And yet people look at me like I'm the naive one just because I see the facts back me up.
