Biden commands a substantial lead over Marianne Williamson (74% to 9%), Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg (58% to 25%), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) (57% to 29%), Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) (53% to 27%), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) (60% to 25%), Vice President Kamala Harris (62% to 24%), former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (54% to 32%), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) (63% to 21%), and Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-Ill.) (64% to 12%).
However, there’s one Democrat who actually beats him: Michelle Obama, who edges out Joe Biden 45% to 43%.
"Michelle Obama currently has the best of multiple worlds," said David Byler, chief of research at Noble Predictive Insights. "She's a celebrity with near universal name recognition. She's beloved by Democrats who remember her years as First Lady. But she doesn’t have the string of failures and missteps that follow anyone who holds formal political office. In other words, she has all the goodwill that comes with the Obama brand but no record that a potential opponent could use against her. She’s not running for office now – but if she chose to do so in a future cycle, she could be formidable."
