How many people have voted thus far in the Democratic nominating process??

Iowa 171,517
New Hampshire 300,000
Nevada - 159,000 (estimate)

Approx 630,000 have participated.

That is too tiny of a sliver of voters to draw any presumptions or conclusions. Especially since two were caucuses. Caucuses are not representative of democracy. You cannot count caucus goers to be a reflection of all voters in a state, ie as winning the poplar vote. A data point yes, but not very meaningful. Caucuses need to go away.

The delegates, which is the measure to achieve, is what matters.

We will know more after more actual primary states have voted.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Right now I believe we are heading in the wrong direction, and that's not a lot of time to right the ship.

I think that is probably Biden.

If they won’t drop out themselves to,stop,splitting the vote, we have to make one stronger.
