Various polls have indicated that Biden maintains a 23-point lead amongst Democrats.
Are Progressives at Odds with Democrat Voters?
York’s observations are interesting; one of the most notable factors of all is the contrast between various progressives and Democrat voters. Shortly after Biden announced his decision to run for office, Justice Democrats immediately slammed him.

A divide within the Democrat Party is forming. On one side lies the progressives who favor candidates such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Earlier this month, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated that she will likely endorse either Sanders or Warren.
