How Andrew Yang could win the 2020 Democratic primary—and the challenges he could face. Via FiveThirtyEight:
Yang has already reached 65,000 unique donors, which is one of the thresholds for qualifying for the first two debates. And Graumann says the campaign has raised about $950,000 in February and the first half of March, which would be solid for a House or Senate candidate, but it probably won’t cut it for president, especially if Yang doesn’t plan to self-fund his campaign, which Graumann says is the case.
Still, that’s partly because not a lot of voters have heard of him, and low name recognition at this point in the cycle isfor a campaign. But even among Democrats who know enough about him to form an opinion, Yang’s favorable ratings aren’t anything to write home about. In four national polls taken so far this year, Yang’s net favorability rating among Democrats has averaged +6 points. And he’s actually underwater in the crucial early state of Iowa.
