Bloombergs mörka siffror: Demokrater ogillar honom

De underliggande siffrorna visar att miljardären Michael Bloomberg har en lång väg till Vita huset, skriver politiksajten 538 Politics. När man räknar bort namnigenkänning är Bloomberg den minst omtyckta kandidaten av alla i det stora demokratiska startfältet.

Demokrater har i en lång rad undersökningar fått svara på om de ser Bloomberg på ett positivt eller negativt sätt. I vanliga fall gillar demokratiska väljare sina egna politiker, skriver 538, men Bloomberg hamnar på minussidan i flera delstater. Totalt i hela landet får han siffran +11, vilket betyder att det är bara något fler som gillar honom än som ogillar honom.

Bara en kandidat har haft sämre siffror i 538:s mätningar sedan 1980: Donald Trump. Den amerikanska presidenten gick från –42 till +28 bland republikaner under en fyramånadersperiod inför valet.

bakgrund
 
Demokraternas primärval 2020
Wikipedia (en)
The 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and caucuses will be a series of electoral contests organized by the Democratic Party to select the approximately 3,769 pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention. Those delegates shall, by pledged votes, elect the Democratic nominee for president of the United States in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The elections are scheduled to take place from February to June 2020 in all fifty U.S. states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories, and Democrats Abroad. Independently of the result of primaries and caucuses, the Democratic Party will, from its group of party leaders and elected officials, also appoint 765 unpledged delegates (superdelegates) to participate in its national convention. In contrast to all previous election cycles, superdelegates will no longer have the right to cast decisive votes at the convention's first ballot for the presidential nomination (limiting their voting rights to either non-decisive votes on the first ballot or decisive votes for subsequent ballots on a contested convention).The field of major Democratic presidential candidates in the 2020 election peaked at more than two dozen. As of November 14, 2019, 18 major candidates are seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020. The October 15, 2019, Democratic presidential debate in Westerville, Ohio, featured 12 candidates, setting a record for the highest number of candidates in one presidential debate.
