Who has the best chance to beat Donald Trump in 2020? Public Policy Polling asked respondents who they would vote for in match-ups between Trump and Democrats Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Joe Kennedy, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, or Kirsten Gillibrand -- or Independent Bernie Sanders.
The poll respondents chose Joe Biden as the best candidate to oppose Trump (at least for now). Biden would beat Trump by 9 points, while Sanders and Booker would beat him by 4 points. Warren, Harris, and Gillibrand were tied with Trump.
I know some progressives don't want Biden as the candidate, but right now he is the obvious choice. Of course a lot could change in the next couple of years.
The poll was done between February 9th and 11th of a random national sample of 687 registered voters, with a 3.7 point margin of error.
