U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has been steadily climbing in popularity this year and is now tied (Tied? He got 20% and Biden got 19%?! but who is going to quibble since 1% of the polling pool is only 7 people!) with former Vice President Joe Biden for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination among registered voters .Another 19% supported Biden, 12% Elizabeth Warren, 9% backed former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and 6% for Buttigieg. Both Sanders and Bloomberg increased support in each of the last three Reuters/Ipsos polls starting in mid-December, but Biden, Warren, and Buttifieg's support has stayed constant.
The IPSOS poll shows that aBOUT 20% of potential primary voters remain undecided, and among those who have decided, early two out of three say they are open to changing their minds.
From December to January, women are the party's biggest swing group: they are more than 2 times as likely as men to say they are undecided about which candidate to support. Among those women who have picked a candidate, nearly 2/3 say they are open to changing their minds.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted in English throughout the United States from Jan. 15-16. It gathered responses from 681 Democrats and independents, including 552 who were registered to vote.

I am glad the undeniable truth about Bernie's long awaited and highly warranted ascendancy is being finally made clear, and that spin doctors will still do their thing, but the media must at least appear to be hewing to the Truth.
What do you think? Are Polls like Ipsos' important? Who do they affect? Do they change voters minds or are they mere fodder for newspapers and media outlets to gnash their teeth over in their presentation of the "News"?
