Kamala Harris, previously in second spot behind Biden, has slipped. She’s now in a fourth-place deadlock with Bernie Sanders at +800.
Warren Commissions Support
A recent NBC News poll showed Warren’s popularity has grown between 6-11% across all demographics. Those who originally viewed her as nothing more than a policy wonk are beginning to see that there’s substance to Warren.
Warren’s image today is presented as a passionate person who believes in what she states. She’s also coming across as someone who cares about the people and the job ahead of her, should she earn the nomination.
She’s displaying an ability to connect with people, both in groups and on a one-on-one basis. And her message is resonating with the masses. They are drawn to her positivity and feel as though she’s concerned about doing what’s best for the country.
Harris Isn’t Hopeless
The first Democratic primary debates are this week and that could prove to be good news for Harris. As an experienced trial lawyer, the former California Attorney General is at her best in a debate format.
Harris displayed just how tenaciously she can beat down an opponent when she school US Attorney General William Barr when he appeared before Congress.
She’ll need to bring her A-game to the debates. Her campaign is clearly flagging. After a solid launch, Harris has slipped out of the public eye and the minds of the voters.
A big performance this week could bring her right back into contention.
Could She Cement It?
Warren’s camp believes that a stellar debate performance could make their candidate the one to beat in the long run.
Biden and Sanders can both draw upon strong levels of support but it’s clear that Warren’s sophisticated approach is eating away at their voter bases. She’s winning people over in a way that no other Democratic candidate is currently doing.
There are a lot of different ways that we get in the fight. And one of them is that you show up. I'm at the Homestead detention center today and I hope you'll be watching. https://t.co/vzXqUlaiIM

It might be time to place a wager on Warren before the odds get so short that it won’t be worth your while.
