This poll shows how favorable current presidential candidates are/were after the debate. It is significant to see that Warren keeps rising in the polls and leads to the questions will she become the front runner of the race.

.....Meanwhile on the Republican side there are some challengers to President Trump. While most states have canceled primaries, rivals are hoping to run as independents. The current candidates on the Republican ticket are Mark Sanford, Donald Trump, Joe Walsh, and Bill Weld.

There are a lot of criteria that voters have when selecting a candidate, but it is important to take a look at the policy positions of each candidate and see if they align with your own.
