California Primary Poll - 12/5/2019 (UC Berkeley)
Bernie Sanders: 24% (+5 since last poll)
Elizabeth Warren: 22% (-7 since last poll)
Joe Biden: 14% (-6 since last poll)

This campaign is surging EVERYWHERE and at just the right time. But we need your help to sustain this momentum, and that is especially true in California — a VERY important state in the primary:

Can you make a $5 contribution to Bernie 2020, our campaign, today? We are getting VERY close to primaries and caucuses and we’ll put your donation right to work winning this race.

Here’s the little-known truth about California. Voters will receive their ballots right around the Iowa caucus, so voting is actually less than two months away. It’s also a big and expensive state, and has a lot of delegates.

Winning here would go a LONG way toward helping us win this race.

But Bernie cannot do it alone. Especially with our opponents raising big money and super PACs circling in the water, ready to spend unlimited sums of money — especially in expensive states like this one.

So please, chip in today. Your $5 contribution will go a long way.

All my best,

Trump's disastrous impeachment polling sends shock waves through GOP



Kerry Eleveld

It didn't matter which poll you looked at this week—they were all bad news for Donald Trump, as well as for GOP lawmakers seeking reelection in 2020. Public support for impeachment grew rapidly in every poll, with nearly all of them finding majority support for the inquiry and two finding 50% support or more for Trump's impeachment and removal from office. 

Rounding out the week, the NPR/Marist/PBS poll found 52% support for the impeachment inquiry in a survey that showed independent voters had flipped in mere weeks from majority opposition to the inquiry (50%-44%) to majority support for it (54%-41%). That's a 19-point swing for independents from late September to now. 

The poll also found that 61% of respondents don't think Trump shares the moral values that most Americans try to live by. And with regard to a president asking a foreign leader to investigate a political rival, fully 68% of Americans said it was not acceptable, including 64% of independents and even 40% of Republicans. 

These polls, including the Fox News poll that found majority support for Trump's removal, have reportedly sent shock waves through both Washington and Republican circles.

Former GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo of Florida told The Hill that Republicans are starting to realize that Trump's Ukraine scandal is doing a different magnitude of damage to Trump and the GOP than the Mueller probe ever did. "This is a lot more radioactive," Curbelo said. "They are coming to terms with the fact that there is real political risk here for members in swing states and swing districts.”

Nonetheless, don't expect Republicans to flee Trump's sinking ship anytime soon—most of them still figure they can't afford to anger Trump's rabid base. That's just fine. The longer they cling to Trump, the more they repel independents, some two-thirds of whom already believe pressuring a foreign government for dirt on a rival is unacceptable.
