一项新的民意测验由有线电视新闻网和市场研究公司SSRS我发现56%的民主党选民认为前副总统是处理外交政策的最佳人选，而38%的人在经济上支持他，相比之下，只有19%的人认为第二名伯尼·桑德斯也是如此。

拜登还被发现在移民政策和枪支政策方面领先他最近的对手两位数。

当被问及他们认为哪个候选人最能处理医疗保健问题时，民主党选民再次把领先的初选候选人放在前面，但他和桑德斯之间的差距更小了，佛蒙特州参议员在28%的投票中仅落后拜登3个百分点。

涵盖的六个政策领域有线电视新闻网和SSRS警察局l——经济、医疗保健、移民、气候危机、外交政策和枪支政策——只有在气候危机上拜登没有领先。

马萨诸塞州参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦最近在民意测验中获得了提升，在六大政策领域一直名列第三——但在移民问题上并列第二，在枪支政策、外交政策和经济方面仅勉强落后于桑德斯。

乔·拜登在民主党全国调查中在政策方面的领先优势与其总体支持率相似。美国有线电视新闻网今天公布的民意调查发现，前副总统领先沃伦15%，沃伦以19%的受访者支持位居第二。

尽管在新的民意调查中，拜登在总体支持率排名和关键选举问题调查中领先于他最接近的挑战者两位数，但他的政策立场似乎不是让他远远领先于竞争对手的唯一因素。

JOE BIDEN BEATS DEMOCRAT RIVALS ON EVERY KEY ELECTION ISSUE EXCEPT CLIMATE CHANGE: POLL

​Democrats believe Joe Biden is the best 2020 primary candidate on several key election issues—including the economy, health care and foreign policy.

A new poll by CNN and market research firm SSRS found that 56 percent of Democrat voters thought the former vice president was the best person in the primary field to handle foreign policy, while 38 percent backed him on the economy, compared to just 19 percent who said the same of second place Bernie Sanders.

Biden was also found to have double-digit leads over his nearest rivals when it came to immigration policy and gun policy.

When asked which candidate they thought could best handle health care, Democrat voters again put the leading primary candidate ahead, but the gap between him and Sanders was closer, with the senator for Vermont polling just 3 points behind Biden on 28 percent.

Across the six policy areas covered by the CNN and SSRS poll—the economy, health care, immigration, the climate crisis, foreign policy, and gun policy—it was only on the climate crisis that Biden did not have a lead.

He was tied with Bernie Sanders in first place on the issue as both received the backing of 26 percent of 424 Democrat voters surveyed by CNN and SSRS.

Democratic Presidential hopeful Joe Biden looks on during the SEIU Unions for All Summit in Los Angeles, California on October 4, 2019.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who has enjoyed a boost in the polls of late, consistently ranked third place in the six top policy areas—but came joint second on immigration and was only narrowly behind Sanders on gun policy, foreign policy and the economy.

Joe Biden's sizeable lead on policy in the national survey of Democrats was similar to his overall support numbers. The CNN poll, released today, found the former vice president has a 15 percent lead over Warren, who came in second place with the backing of 19 percent of respondents.

His lead in the poll is the highest it has been since the same survey was conducted in April this year, when he was 24 points in front of then-second place Bernie Sanders.

The senator for Vermont is now close behind Warren in third place with 16 percent support among the Democrat survey group, who were polled on the cusp of Sanders' New York rally last Saturday, where he received the endorsement of the influential freshman representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Although Biden was found to enjoy double-digit leads over his closest challengers in the new poll's overall support rankings and survey on key election issues, it does not appear that his policy positions were the only factor putting him well ahead of rivals.

Respondents to the poll were also asked whether it was more important that the Democratic Party's 2020 nominee had a strong chance of beating Trump or aligned with them on "major issues."

More than half of respondents (54 percent) said it was more important that a candidate could beat Trump while just 39 percent said stances on key issues were more important to them.

The CNN/SSRS poll was conducted from October 17-20 among a representative sample of 1,003 U.S. adults, including a sub-group of 424 Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents that were registered to vote.
