Bloomberg, who has spent hundreds of millions of dollars of his personal fortune to fund his campaign and an extensive advertising blitz across states, garnered 19% support nationally, placing him second among democratic voters and behind front-runner Senator Bernie Sanders who garnered 31% support. Bloomberg met the requirements set by the Democratic National Committee to be among the six candidates debating in Nevada on Wednesday.
The latest NPR. PBS NewsHour and Marist poll has Sanders leading the pack at 31% nationally followed by Bloomberg at 19% and who has eaten into former Vice President Joe Biden’s early front-runner status. Senator’s Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar and Mayor Pete Buttigieg make up the top six. Qualifying for the first debate will surely make Bloomberg a target for his rivals who have yet to have the opportunity to engage him directly as Senator Bernie Sanders explains.
“60 billion dollars can buy a lot of advertising, but it can’t erase your record. There’s a lot to talk about Michael Bloomberg. You all are going to start focusing on him like you have on me, which —I’m not complaining— like you have on me the last six months. You’re going to focus on him. His position on issues relating to the African-American community from stop-and-frisk to the way he talked about Obama.
