“Biden is now emerging as a very early front-runner — he beats handily even the celebrity candidates that have been floated,” said Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll co-director Mark Penn.

“The results show the broad constituency of the party favoring someone who has an appeal to the Working Class voters that Trump captured,” Penn said. “While early leads mean little, the results show Biden is well positioned this time for a run. The rest right now have fairly limited national constituencies for president but have a lot of time yet to build up their images.”Biden has said that he planned on running in 2016 until his son, Beau Biden, was diagnosed with brain cancer and passed away. In a December interview with The View, Biden, 75, did not rule out a 2020 run.“If I were offered the nomination by the Lord Almighty right now, today, I would say no because we're not ready, the family's not ready to do this,” Biden said. “If, in a year from now, if we're ready, and nobody has moved in that I think can do it, then I may very well do it.”Democrats are expecting a large field of candidates eager to take on, whose approval rating is historically low for a first-term president.Earlier this month, Winfrey ignited a frenzy of speculation over a potential run after a well-received speech at the Golden Globes.At 89 percent, Winfrey has near-universal name recognition. She is viewed favorably by 57 percent of voters, with only 32 percent having a negative view of her. Winfrey is viewed positively by 77 percent of Democrats, 56 percent of independents and 35 percent of Republicans — the best showing among Republicans for any Democratic candidate.Sanders is similarly well-known and remains one of the most popular elected officials in the country at 53 favorable and 36 unfavorable.Clinton’s favorability rating has not recovered in her time away from the spotlight. She is at 38 percent favorable and 57 unfavorable.The rest of the field of candidates is not as well known. Only 70 percent recognize Warren’s name. The Massachusetts senator sits at 34 percent favorable and 35 unfavorable.The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll online survey of 1,192 registered voters was conducted from Jan. 13 to Jan. 16 The partisan breakdown is 37 percent Democrat, 31 percent Republican, 29 percent independent and 4 percent other.The Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll is a collaboration of the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and The Harris Poll.
