Zogby Analytics surveyed 495 likely democratic primary voters nationwide. The poll was conducted online 6/4/18 -6/6/18, and has a MOE +/-4.4 percentage points.

We posed the following question to likely democratic primary voters: If your state's Democratic Primary or caucus for President were held today, for whom would you vote?

Most (29%) likely democratic primary voters are still not sure who they would vote for in 2020 among a list of unofficial candidates. Joe Biden (21%) and Bernie Sanders (19%) are leading the group, followed by Oprah Winfrey (10%) and Elizabeth Warren (6%). Sanders has cut into Biden's lead since our last poll in May, and only trails Biden by two percentage points, 21% to 19%, which is within the margin of error for this sample. New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo (4%), gained some ground by closing in on the lower tier of potential candidates, mainly Senators Kamala Harris (CA-5%) and Cory Booker (NJ-4%).

Who emerges as the nominee will come down to demographics, and who can rally the democratic base, which should be fired-up in 2020 to oust President Trump.

Bernie Sanders continues to dominate among Millennials and Generation Z voters (Sanders beats Biden 26% to 5%). Sanders, especially wins among voters aged 18-24 (Sanders beats Biden 35% to 5%). Among younger voters age 18-29 and 18-24, Oprah comes in second (22% and 15%, respectively) followed by Elizabeth Warren (4% and 6%, respectively) and Harris (7% and 5%, respectively). Biden is strongest among voters age 30+.

Joe Biden leads Sanders narrowly among liberals (23% to 21%), moderates (24% to 20%), college degree (22% to 18%), and no college degree voters (20% to 19%).
