According to a Harvard/Harris poll conducted between November 27-29, respondents who identified as Democrats heavily favored former Vice President Joe Biden when asked which Democratic presidential candidate they preferred. But when former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was added to the mix, Clinton came out on top of all the current candidates, garnering 21% of respondents votes to Biden’s 20%.
Without Clinton, the vote showed Biden with 29%, Senator Bernie Sanders with 16%, Senator Elizabeth Warren with 13%, South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg with 8%, and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg with 7%.
But when Clinton and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry were added to the list, the vote came out 21% for Clinton, 20% for Biden, 12% for Sanders, 9% for Warren, and Buttigieg and Kerry with 5%.

Hillary is picking up steam with Democratic voters; A Harvard-Harris poll at the beginning of November asked the same question; once Hillary was added to the mix, Biden led with 19% of the Democratic vote, but Clinton came in second with 18%.
All of this is music for Hillary Clinton’s ears, of course; she and husband Bill have been coyly mentioning the subject in many ways for months. As The Daily Wire noted, after President Trump tweeted about Clinton in early October, the former secretary of state said the following to Judy Woodruff on “PBS NewsHour”: “You know, it truly is remarkable how obsessed he remains with me … maybe there does need to be a rematch. Obviously, I can beat him again. But, just seriously, I don’t understand, I don’t think anybody understands what motivates him.”
