Former Vice President Joe Biden, former first lady Michelle Obama, and 2016 presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., are in a tight race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination while President Trump tops his nearest challenger by 63 points, according to a new poll.

The latest McLaughlin & Associates survey has Sanders at 18 percent, Biden at 17 percent, and Obama at 16 percent.

The next Democrat is Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, at 11 percent, and then a fading Hillary Clinton, at 9 percent.

Some 16 candidates rank behind “Undecided” at 11 percent, which demonstrates that the race remains wide open.

On the Republican side, there is still no serious challenger to Trump.

The president sits at 72 percent in the GOP primary, a drop from 79 percent last month. The pollsters noted an increase in support for incoming Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, from 5 percent to 9 percent in the last month.

Pollster John McLaughlin said his poll shows that the Democrats are “no longer the party of Clinton anymore. They are the party of Obama.”

And of a potential Romney challenge to Trump, he said the numbers show that the president has a “crushing lead” and that in 2020 “he’ll have a united Republican race.”
