I want Warren but after last night, I picked Harris.
edit: I think Biden did so poorly last night that he'll suffer a slow death throughout the debates. My dad was gung-ho on Biden and ditched him after last night.

I think it will be Harris, I'd prefer Warren but I think Harris will ultimately win.
Biden is already done, he just doesn't know it yet. Sanders will go far but somehow I can't see him as the nominee his biggest problem right now is Warren, similar policies but she's less weird.

Did you stop paying attention to the primary in January or something?
Nah, I'm just not willfully delusional.
Anywho, it'll be Biden or Harris.
Harris has been stagnant in the polls since she announced, in fourth to fifth place. Her debate performance may change that, but she hasn't been a frontrunner so far. Warren by contrast has risen from being written off by people on day one to equaling and several times now beating Bernie in polls. She's consistently people's second choice in ranked polls if they support Biden or another. Thus if Biden falters and loses his large lead, Warren is the one that's going to benefit and surge even further.
I wish I could change my vote. I'm now torn between Warren and Harris. I voted for Bernie initially.
Biden is going to tank from last night as I thought he would.

I voted Warren. When Biden starts inevitably falling in the polls, Warren feels like someone who could surge up to the top and barring a disastrous gaffe, could remain there.
Bernie is old news now. Warren is a younger, better and female version of him.
Harris, despite her strong performance last night, probably has too much ground to make up.
I really like Pete, but recognize he's going to struggle to win over African-American voters, and he's probably still too inexperienced.

I think Biden and Sanders will fade away as "yesterday's men".

After last night, Harris. That takedown of Biden demonstrates not just her ability to debate but hold people to account. Since it worked with Biden, it's not a huge logical leap to Trump, since the big electability factor at the moment seems to be whether a candidate can hold their own against Trump.
But I'm hoping it's eventually Warren. If not Warren then Sanders.

Biden does not have this on lock. Past primaries show clearly that being the frontrunner this far out means almost nothing. He'll have to do better than he did last night in future debates to hold on.
Warren is inching up in polls. She debates well, and has actual policies - which Democrat voters still do care about (well, some of them). I think she has the best chance at this point.

Surprised to see Harris so low. She seems pretty in line with the type of candidate the DNC wants to push. Strong enough to go after Trump, has a minority background, economically centrist/neoliberal, and a lot of endorsements already.
The final four will definitely be Bernie/Warren/Biden/Harris, who wins will depend on the following:
If Biden continues to implode and gets chipped away by the others
If Bernie or Liz decide to drop out and back the other person

At this early stage, I think Warren, Harris & Buttigieg are ticking all the boxes for the Dem. nominating process .
I was a big Bernie supporter last time, even donated several hundred bucks, as right as I felt he was in 2016 when many American voters, left & right, were looking for an anti-status quo candidate, Trump has changed the dynamic. An intelligent progressive who has a shot at winning back the industrial midwest will hopefully win, that's how Trump loses.

Most likely will be Harris.
She has that push that most want to see in a Dem right now. Last night showed she has that 'oomph' when she speaks.
Hopefully, we hear more about how she will handle the policies the people want.

i changed the poll options so that you can now change your vote seeing as yesterday's debate may have made people change their minds
i wanted the poll to be a snapshot in time, but the voting deadline still accomplishes that to some extent

ok now you can
I know people have misgivings about Harris's past, but she's apologized for a lot of it. More importantly, she's a God-tier level debater and no one in the field will do better against Trump on a stage.
Would prefer Warren, but more than happy with Harris.

So far it seems Biden's early support won't last, I'm not even considering him a likely nomination winner.
Will Be: Biden
Should be: Harris or Beto
Shouldn't be: Warren or Bernie
Country has voters whose ideas are right of the left bubble here and they are 90% of voters even if you count youth. GOP attack machine is making money and they have not even begun. They are licking their chops should it be warren or Bernie and their line will be simple . Right , fall in line , Center , economy is good do you want a wrench in the system from socialists ? No? Game over
If you look at it from the outside the left perspective and history, this is the unvarnished truth and uncomfortable truth the progressives need to face before they lose another Supreme Court seat, before they lose another presidency and before they lose the all progress of the past 40 years. You cannot wish for the most progressive candidate when the electorate is not progressive. They have to be shown progressive reforms by a candidate who attracts the best and not the best electorate. Left, center and disenfranchised right
This is why if not Biden it has to be someone like Kamala Harris who has a liked by independents streak. Left has to compromise on their principled stances and litmus tests to win the prize.

Warren and Sanders are killing each other. I don't think either one can win unless the other drops out before New Hampshire.
If that doesn't happen then it should be an easy victory for Biden. I hope he does what Hilary was to dumb to do, and picks up Sanders or Warren as VP.

Warren would be wasted as VP, but furthermore Warren and Biden do not get on at all.
