Biden leads, Warren a distant fourth, in a pair of recent presidential polls.

Even though the early favorite to win the 2020 New Hampshire presidential primary has yet to (officially, ed.) declare his intention to run for president, a new UMass Amherst poll found that former Vice President Joe Biden was at the top of the heap among prospective Democratic contenders whereas Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is polling out of the money in fourth place among New Hampshire voters.

Granted, things are still in the very preliminary stages of the 2020 race for the White House, these polling numbers do not bode well for Senator Warren.

In particular, how she did not appear to have enjoyed any photo op fueled pop in the polls from her recent official announcement that she would be seeking the 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination.

Even further troubling for Warren, however, were her negative numbers.

The UMass polling found that Democrats and independents ranked Warren at the top of the heap of candidates who they would not vote for if she were to win the Democratic nomination.

Warren suffered a 26% would not vote for her rating, followed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at 23% – and which is within the margin of error – and Senator Bernie Sanders at 21% – which is outside of the margin of error.
