The poll, released on May 30 by Atlas Intel, found Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and former transportation secretary in the Biden administration, to be the top pick among Democrats who responded to the survey.

A total of 31.5% of self-identified Democrats who responded to the poll said they would vote for Buttigieg for president in four years, according to the poll.

Other surveys in May from firms such as Echelon Insights and McLaughlin & Associates have found Harris in first place in the hypothetical primary, making Atlas Intel’s poll stand out among the rest.

Harris is the third most popular pick among Democrats in the poll, falling behind U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

You forget the split ticket in the last election where people who voted down ticket for tRump and republicans only to overwhelmingly vote for AOC. She has the popularity to bridge the divides and unite labor against the wealthy. This tour with Bernie will further cement her popularity with the masses!

It seems Democrats are content to just ignore how Bernie and AOC are filling football stadiums in red states, because MSNBC just repeats that common drumbeat that only centrists are electable.

Looking back, the old guard in the DNC needs to go. They're still reeling from when they last ran a progressive and Nixon took like 48/50 states. I think that explains some of their hesitation. However, those were vastly different times and before Nixon -- and moreover Reagan -- started dismantling the guardrails that helped create the middle-class.
