As The Candidates Sink Slowly ......

2020 seems to be the race for Dems who start with a lot of hoopla and then sink into oblivion.

Look at this one.  Elizabeth Warren began her campaign for president just a few months ago.  Before that, she was leading the field of Democrats in New Hampshire polling.  That's not surprising since NH is just next to Warren's state of Massachusetts, so she's well known there.  She was polling at 26% of the vote.  In the latest polling, Warren is coming in at just 5%.  That's a total collapse.

Then there's Kamala Harris.  A few months ago, the media was proclaiming her a front runner.  Here's her results in the last five polls in New Hampshire:  14, 12, 10, 7 and 4.  If she keeps going like this, she may make negative numbers by the actual New Hampshire primary.

And how about Robert "Beto" O'Rourke?  He's down to only 3% in the latest NH poll.  And the media told us that "Beto mania" was going to take this guy to the White House.  Well, maybe he can take the public tour.

And it's not just New Hampshire.  In Iowa, Harris has gone from 18% to 6% in the last five polls.  Warren has dropped from 11 to 6 percent in those same polls.  Beto is at only 5%.

The only candidate who has increased much during that time is Pete Buttigieg who has made it to the low teens.  Of course, he's still in the big burst of hoopla section of his roll out.  We will have to check back in two months to see if he is still polling in positive numbers.
