Dick Morris: Biden Could Get 56 Percent of Dem Vote Against Hillary

A July 9th national poll by Monmouth University shows that 56% of Democratic primary voters would be "very" or "somewhat" Likely to "consider supporting [Vice President Joe] Biden for the nomination over your current choice" should he enter the race.

Note: Dick Morris is appearing all this week on Newsmax TV discussing the 2016 presidential race, the Republican primary and Hillary's campaign. Watch Dick on DirecTV 349, Dish 223, FIOS 115 or go to Newsmax TV by clicking here. The survey first asked voters for whom they would vote if the primary were held now. Hillary led the field, although she barely eked out a majority:

• Hillary 51%
• Sanders 17%
• Biden 13%
• Webb 1%
• O'Malley 1%
• Undecided 17%

Then it asked the voters who were not supporting Biden (87% of the sample), "Joe Biden has not yet indicated whether he intends to run. If Biden does get into the race, how likely would you be to consider supporting him for the nomination over your current choice?: The results are a real boost to Biden's chances:

• Already for Biden 13%
• Very likely to switch 12%
• Somewhat likely to switch 31%
• Not too likely 19%
• Not at all likely 19%
• Undecided 6%

When you drill down, Hillary's unshakeable base in the Democratic Primary is only 38% (those who said it was not likely that they would switch).

Hillary's weakness is apparent when one notes that 49% of the voters in the initial poll chose to be undecided or to vote for another candidate.

The myth of her invincibility is being shattered.
