Bloomberg Climbs to Third Place in National Poll

Michael Bloomberg

Billionaire and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg saw a 6-point bump in the latest Hill-HarrisX survey of the Democratic presidential primary, reports The Hill.

The nationwide poll, which was released Friday, shows Bloomberg up from 5 percent to 11 percent support for the nomination nationally. He is now in a dead heat for third place with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass).

Former Vice President Joe Biden, meanwhile, continues to lead the Democratic field with 28 percent followed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) at 16 percent.

From a libertarian perspective, Bloomberg is awful on almost all issues but, and this is sad, he is better than the rest of the pack.
