The Monmouth poll shows, “The six women in the field receive a combined 27% support from Democratic voters. In poll jargon, that’s “favorability,” and the women are hitting their stride:Warren is known to 88% of Democratic voters. Harris is known to 82% of Democratic voters, which is consistent with prior polls.
