Two Important Polls

There are two new polls out today that actually are important.

The first poll is the Emerson poll of the California Democrat presidential primary.  Biden and Sanders are tied for the lead, but that's not what is important.  What's important is that Kamala Harris is in fifth place with only 6% of the vote.  That puts her behind Biden, Sanders, Warren and Andrew Yang.  Remember, Harris is a senator from California.  That means that 94% of her home state Democrats want someone else to be the nominee.  If there ever was a good indicator that her campaign has failed, this is it.  Harris should really give up now.

The second poll is the NBC poll of the New York Democrat presidential primary.  Here, too, the important point is not who is in the lead (Biden).  No, the important point is that New York City mayor Bill DeBlasio is behind at least 13 other Democrats.  He gets less than one half of one percent support which rounds to zero.  It's amazing that in a poll that sampled Democrats, more than half of whom come from New York City, DeBlasio can't even get to 1% support.  This is not just an indicator that he should drop out of the race.  It is a wholesale repudiation of DeBlasio and a strong indicator that he should not run for re-election in 2021.  Bill should be mortified with these results.
