Jewish businessman Michael Bloomberg has yet to face the Democratic primaries, but he continues to garner support. A new national poll found that the former New York mayor is supported by about one-fifth (19%) of Democratic voters. As a result, he is eligible to participate in the confrontation that will take place today in the city of Las Vegas.

It is estimated that the rest of the contestants will attack him. This, after Bernie Sanders, the leading Democratic candidate at this time, blamed Jewish Bloomberg for trying to buy the candidacy by investing hundreds of millions of dollars of his private capital in election campaigns.

The main battle now underway is between Sanders Socialist and Bloomberg - the billionaire capitalist. Bloomberg, a Republican in his past, is wooing the moderate mainstream vote of Democratic voters versus Sanders, who is supported by the left wing of voters.

In a poll by NPR and Marist, Sanders is the most popular contender with 31 percent support. Popularity is explained by his accomplishments in elections in Iowa and New Hampshire. However, Bloomberg's achievement is more impressive, as in a December national poll he received only 4 percent of support. Since then, four surveys have been published that indicate its gradual intensification.

Attending the day will be attended by, in addition to Sanders and Bloomberg, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Amy Clocher, former Vice President Joe Biden, and Pete Bottage.

The clash will take place ahead of the state of Nevada elections, which will be held on Saturday, through the method of election meetings (coconuts). Bloomberg is expected to join the race on "Big Tuesday," March 3, at which time voting will take place in 15 states and territories. Prior to that, on February 29, primaries in South Carolina would be held. The two upcoming races may determine the fate of former Vice President Biden, who has so far disappointed.

In a survey released yesterday, he is ranked third with 15 percent of support, followed by Senators Warren (12 percent), Clocher (9 percent), as well as Boutidge with 8 percent support. Biden's campaign hopes to win the support of African-American and Hispanic community voters, who have not been properly represented in the first two rounds of voting.
