Renewed speculation surrounding the potential for a Joe Biden candidacy may be serving as a self-fulfilling prophecy by attracting support among the base away from Hillary Clinton.
According to the latest Fox News poll, Hillary’s downward slide has reached a relative low point of 51%, down from a strong 60-plus position earlier in the year.
That same poll put non-candidate Biden at 13 points, the strongest showing so far for someone who isn’t officially running.
What’s more is continued popularity of Sen. Bernie Sanders who, in another recent poll, has captured at least 25% of the Democrat primary base.
