FiveThirtyEight Founder and Editor-In-Chief Nate Silver said former Vice President Joe Biden is a"clear front-runner" among the slew of Democrats vying for the party's nomination.
Four national polls released Tuesday all placed Biden at the front of the pack, and showed significant increases in support for him, Silver said Tuesday on FiveThirtyEight. Biden's"supporters are not necessarily like the Twitter-following, podcast-listening demographic," Silver said."It's more working class voters, older voters, a lot of African-Americans. So I do think he's underrated at the same time.""And that's a coalition that historically is very powerful in Democratic politics," Silver said.
"I still really wonder how comfortable voters will be nominating someone who is now 76, or in Bernie's case, 77 years old," Silver said."A lot of voters, if you poll them in the abstract and say, 'Do you feel comfortable with someone 75 or older being president?' They say, 'No I do not.'" In an interview with ABC's"Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts Monday, Biden said he takes responsibility for Hill's treatment in 1991 when she testified before the Senate Judiciary committee during Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearing.
