en. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is now the Democratic frontrunner with a 26 percent approval rating — that’s according to a new poll from Economist/YouGov that was conducted between September 28 and October 1.
Democratic voters were asked: “If the Democratic presidential primary or caucus in your state were held today, who would you vote for?”
Warren clocked in at 26 percent, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden at 22 — meaning she has a full four-point lead over him.
