(1) Kamala runs third on her own turf. California Democrats or voters who lean Democratic rank favorite daughter Senator Kamala Harris as merely their third choice among their presidential contenders, at 17 percent, according to a new Quinnipiac University Poll, placing her behind Joe Biden (26 percent) and Bernie Sanders (18 percent).
(2) (Don’t) Run, Kamala, (Don’t) Run! By 52 percent to 38 percent, likely voters of all partisan stripes say Harris, who has served less than half her first term, should not run for president, according to a new Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) survey. Democrats and Republicans unsurprisingly divide on the question, but self-identified independents by a 2-1 ratio believe she should not seek the presidency.
(3) The guy who hasn’t declared is winning. Although he has yet to formally announce his candidacy, former vice president Biden remains the front-runner among Democrats and Dem leaners nationwide, Quinnipiac reports, at 29 percent, trailed by Senator Sanders (19 percent), ex-Texas congressmember Beto O’Rourke (12 percent), and Harris (8 percent).
