In a new Monmouth University poll, former Vice President Joe Biden's popularity was shown to be dropped by 13 points ( with 19 per cent support). Whereas, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren's popularity is just ahead of Biden (at 20 per cent).


The poll also showed Biden losing members of his coalition. This makes the next round of debates in September crucial for him. Biden's decline comes from registered Democratic voters and Democratic-leaning voters. He has also lost support among people who don't have a college degree and those under the age of 50. Warren's popularity has risen slightly while Sanders' has remained stable.

Biden had crisscrossed the state in four different campaign stops from Hanover to Keene on Friday and Saturday before attending a fundraiser in New York City.
Here's where other Democratic hopefuls stand— California Sen. Kamala Harris (8%), New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (4%), South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (4%), businessman Andrew Yang (3%), former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro (2%), former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (2%) and author Marianne Williamson (2%).

Monmouth's poll was conducted from Aug. 16-20 and is based on phone conversations with 298 registered voters.
