8:12Now PlayingA new poll shows that Senator Elizabeth Warren is officially a frontrunner in the Democratic race, holding a solid position as Number 3. But while the headlines focused on that fact – which is actually a big deal – they missed the other information that this new poll has to offer, which is that each candidate very clearly has at least one weak spot that they need to work on. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what this new poll actually shows us.

Earlier this week, a new pole put out by the economist and you Gov showed that Elizabeth Warren is officially a front runner in the democratic race. She is still in third place, but her numbers are so strong and so close to the a number one or number two, which is Biden and Bernie respectively, that Elizabeth Warren has now clawed her way out of the single digits policy by policy and is now absolutely right there, neck and neck with Biden and Bernie. That is remarkable. That is wonderful. But every one reporting on this poll seems to have missed the bigger takeaway of the poll. Yes, I understand Elizabeth Warren surging in this and basically holding her own with these, uh, you know, veterans in politics. Elizabeth Warren, relatively speaking, compared to them has not been around nearly as long. But here she comes and she did it by coming up with these wonderful policies.
As I said, policy by policy, she's getting more popular and that is what a presidential campaign should be built upon. She has done it right from the start. And I love it and I love her campaign and I like her. But again, that's really not what this poll was telling us. This poll was telling us that each one of the front runners, and in fact most of the people running for president of the democratic side, nobody's hitting a grand slam right now. Everybody has some weak points. And for some people those weak points are really fricking huge. And here they are. And before we get into the numbers, please understand they do not add up to 100% because the pole was asking people for multiple different candidates. Took me a while to figure out, cause they didn't explicitly mentioned that you had to go into the fine print.
