Former Vice President Joe Biden is set to enter the Democratic presidential race later this week.
Joe Biden's net favorability rating dropped 7 percent among Democratic voters, according to a poll released Tuesday amid reports that the former vice president would be launching his presidential campaign this week.
Senator Bernie Sanders earned the second-highest level of support. The democratic socialist received a 44 percent favorability rating, a significant decline from the 53 percent registered in March but little overall change from the 49 percent he recorded in January. Twenty percent of survey respondents said they would select Sanders as their candidate.
Biden has recently faced a raft of negative publicity over allegations of inappropriately touching women. Last month, former Nevada state lawmaker Lucy Flores accused Biden of unwanted touching at a campaign event in 2014.
