Sen. Kamala Harris climbs 8 points in the Democratic race, as enthusiasm starts high for both parties, new CNN poll finds
Former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders continue to hold the top slots in the large Democratic field. Harris now stands at 12% support among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, up from 4% in December, and the latest entrant to the field -- former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke -- stands at 11%.
Among those who do have favorites, the top four deepen their advantage: 33% in that group back Biden, 22% go toward Sanders, 13% each choose Harris and O'Rourke, with everyone else testing below 5%. A majority of Democratic leaners say they would rather see the party nominate a candidate with a strong chance of beating Trump , while 35% say they prioritize a candidate's issue positions over electability. That preference for electability appears to work against Sanders most strongly.
