As much as a patriarchal society would have us believe that only elder white males possess the all-powerful “electability” to defeat President Trump in the 2020 election, a new poll offers at least one data point to the contrary.
Quinnipiac found that Biden remains ahead by “landslide proportions”: in a head-to-head match-up against the president, the former vice president would win by double-digits—53% support to Trump’s 40%. Sanders is not far behind, with the poll predicting a 51% win over Trump’s 42. But perhaps the most illuminating finding is that these veteran straight, white males aren’t the Democrats’ only hope to defeat Trump.
“The head-to-head matchups give this heads up to President Donald Trump’s team: Former Vice President Joseph Biden and other Democratic contenders would beat the president if the election were held today,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll. I can see the bumper stickers now: “Anyone in 2020.” Yes, the 2016 election proved that polls are precarious. But the latest from Quinnipiac just may chip away at the ignorant notion that in order to win in 2020 and end the national Trumpian nightmare, Democrats have to pull a retrograde U-turn and rally behind the nearest white guy; that onlycould connect with mythical moderate Republicans or sway disillusioned Trump defectors.
