Just 55% of Democrats think Joe Biden is their strongest 2020 White House candidate to run against President Trump, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

"The numbers suggest the Democratic candidate has some serious work to do shoring up his base in advance of the general election," Rasmussen said. "That’s a decent place to be, but not great. It’s possible the pandemic has slowed the process of uniting Democrats behind their presumptive nominee. It also helps explain the lack of enthusiasm for Biden found in many general election polls."

Biden became the party's presumptive presidential nominee weeks before the coronavirus sidelined the entire 2020 campaign cycle. Biden after a slow start won big in South Carolina, then on Super Tuesday – first winnowing a large field, then knocking off then-frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders.  

"Not surprisingly, Sanders is in second among Democrats at 20%," Rasmussen also said about the new poll findings.

Among Democrats, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) came in third place, with 14%. Just 4% of respondents picked "Some Other Candidate," and 7% said they were Not Sure.
