This is not how major candidates normally poll in their home states.

In public, Republican presidential hopefuls Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are moving from polite rivals to bickering combatants.
She gets 41 percent to 43 percent for Fiorina and trails Rubio 41-45 percent. If a party is to anoint someone as their standard bearer, they need to know what to expect, as it can have long-lasting effects on the image of that political party. Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and brother of a former president, and businesswoman Carly Fiorina posted support from 9 and 8 percent of Republicans, respectively. When asked about the first word that came to mind about Mr. Trump, 54 percent of voters suggested terms like “arrogant”, “jerk”, and “clown”. Cruz is a first-term senator; none of the other three has ever held elected office.
In Pennsylvania, Mr. Trump was at 23 percent among Republicans, compared to 24 percent in August. But if Biden does decide to seek the presidency, the New York Times writes, he would pose a greater challenge to Hillary Clinton than is Sen. His number was 6.0 percent annual growth over the next decade, topping Jeb Bush’s 4.0 percent growth rate by two full percentage points.
Donald Trump has made an even bigger name for himself in the past year, as he is making a serious bid to become the next president of the United States. If that sounds odd, you should be very angry at the reporters at your favorite news outlet, because they should have been talking about this part of the picture.
Majorities in each state say Trump and Clinton have strong leadership qualities, the only other candidate viewed that way by majorities in all three states is Biden. Among voters overall, he had a 36 percent/56 percent favorable/unfavorable split and 54 percent of voters said he is not honest and trustworthy. Bernie, by the way, is up about four percent in Florida.
Biden’s positive ratings in the poll may reflect the fact that he hasn’t been campaigning and hasn’t recently faced the kinds of scrutiny given to the active candidates in the field.
“The way you approach people and build relationships really matters”, he said.
As he has a knack for doing, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says the things the politically correct crowd doesn’t want Americans to hear.
