A surprising Democratic candidate just made a very large jump in a recent election poll, so much of a jump in fact that it put him tied for third place along side Elizabeth Warren.

Maybe Judge Judy will get her wish because that candidate is Michael Bloomberg.

According to The Daily Wire,

The poll, which was conducted on 431 self-identified Democrats and “left-leaning Independents” between December 27-28, asked respondents the following: “Who is your preference to become the Democratic nominee in the 2020 election for President?”

In first place is former Vice President Joe Biden with 28% of the vote. In second place is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) with 16%. Tied for third place are Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bloomberg, each with 11%.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg sits in fourth place with just 6%, and rounding out the top six is “unsure” with 12%.

This news bodes well for Bloomberg. However, according to the RealClearPolitics national average, the former New York City mayor still trails the pack with just 5.8% support – within striking distance of fourth place Buttigieg’s 7.9% support, but far out of reach of Biden (29.4%), Sanders (19.4%), and Warren (14.8%).

So it seems that not all of the polls show the same results, or even similar results because that is quite a difference for Bloomberg. One poll shows him at 11%, another shows him at 5.8% and still the most recent poll actually puts Bloomberg at 7% which is tied with Buttigieg behind Biden, Sanders, and Warren.

How much is it really going to matter? Who knows, because as of right now, former VP Joe Biden is leading in nearly every poll and most of them he’s leading by double digits.

There are a few polls where he is behind, such as in Iowa where former Mayor Pete Buttigieg is actually leading by 3 points over Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Here’s the fact of the matter, Joe Biden is going to win the nomination unless things continue to get bad for Biden, which is going to make this a cakewalk for Donald Trump.
