According to The New York Times, Biden is currently the top polling democratic candidate, with Warren and Sanders close behind in the second and third positions, respectively.
The three of them are all polling in the double digits, though both Biden and Warren have reportedly suffered some declines in their support as of late.

Many social media users have been offering their thoughts on the debates and the panel of candidates, with one person tweeting, "This is down to 2 people... maybe 3. The rest are either delusional and/or working on their "brand" with the exposure. Time to start calling out the hanger-ons for the good of the debate."
"These debates are pointless with so many participants. We already know where they stand on the surface of issues. And surface is all they have time to discuss," another person said.
"There is one person in this collage who can win the general and that's Klobuchar. The rest of them are 4 more years for Trump by a mile," someone else offered.
The next Democratic debate is scheduled to take place at UCLA on Dec. 19. Per The Verge, only six candidates have qualified to participate in that debate, so far: Biden, Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, Harris, and Klobuchar.
