"Latest national poll shows Warren’s “support cut in half in the span of a month.' ”
"Things are not looking good for Massachusetts’ Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D). Her presidential campaign, according to Politico, “nosedives in new national poll,” and the Washington Post is asking, “What happened to Elizabeth Warren?”
"The numbers both in Iowa and nationwide are unmistakably bad for Warren. In Iowa, Politico’s Natasha Korecki reports that Warren has lost “her mojo” and that Democrats are starting to wonder if she “peaked too soon.”
. . .
"We’ve covered Warren’s Medicare for All problems, and all of them have been self-inflicted. It all started when she announced that she was “with Bernie” on his untenable Medicare for All plan.Then came her empty promises that the middle class would not be taxed. She later released a revised plan that holds its own myriad problems, including compounded issues regarding who will pay for it.
"There seems little doubt that these issues have contributed to her nosedive among Democrat primary voters. Democrat primary voters care about health care, and they care about beating President Trump. In both areas, Warren’s unforced errors create doubt in their minds.
"She seems to have treated health care as an afterthought after she declared she stood “with Bernie.” She repeated her stance for “free” universal health care for every person in America (including illegals). She promised that billionaires would pay for it, and average Americans would save money and on.
"Only when pressed for details did she add a Medicare for All plan to her already massive stack of plans for broad-based, disruptive change across every aspect of Americans’ lives. "And when it bombed with both the left and the right, she rushed out a new plan . . . that also bombed.
"It’s not exactly the sort of performance likely to beat Trump. Democratic primary voters see it and appear to be test-driving Mayor Pete who, not incidentally, has become a vocal opponent of Medicare for All.
