Poll: White Men Lead Democratic Primary Despite Focus On Identity Politics

It’s almost as if a candidate’s skin color and genitals aren’t the main factors voters are concerned about.

A new poll from Emerson College of Democrat primary voters found that the party’s current frontrunners are all white men. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) leads with 29% of the vote, with former Vice President Joe Biden trailing behind him at 24%. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg follows them at 9% and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke and California Sen. Kamala Harris are right behind at 8% each. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren rounds out the leaders at 7%.
