Poll: Dems Prefer Cuomo to Biden

The New York Post has results of a poll asking Democrats whether they prefer their party to nominate Governor Andrew Cuomo instead of former Vice President Joe Biden.

The national poll found 56 percent of Democrats prefer Cuomo, with 44 percent wanting to stick with presumptive nominee Biden — a 12-point margin well outside the 4.8 percent margin of error for the Democratic sample.

Hispanic voters, young people, women and self-identified liberals are most likely to favor dumping the former vice president for Cuomo.

Black voters, an important Biden constituency, also preferred Cuomo. Regardless of preferences, given party rules it is unclear how this could come about unless Biden voluntarily withdraws for “health reasons.”
