Most people don't want to think about politics until they have to. Sanders and Biden have name recognition. I suspect other people will rise when the actual debates near and money is spent instead of fundraised.

It’s 100% name recognition now. Remember the vast majority of people don’t pay attention until after the nomination. So at this point they haven’t even started to pay attention to the fact that they aren’t paying attention.
The candidates’ only goal right now is to get the average person to say “Yeah, I’ve heard of that person.” It doesn’t even matter how or, to some extent, if it’s good or bad news that got his or her name lodged into the person’s brain.
As they whittle down from 8,304 names to three or four, that’s when you start to differentiate between the real candidates.

I can't figure out what Kamala did to drop four points.

That's kinda what I suspect and with Joe Biden not even announcing there just isn't much critical media focus on him.
Around this time of the Republican cycle Jeb was polling the highest.

Need a poll on 1st to drop out?
Going back a ways, I think JFK didn't officially declare to early 1960. However, there were a lot less primaries back then.

Obviously a long shot, but was an outstanding governor during his time in Massachusetts. He would make an excellent president.

Serious non-trolling question: Did Bernie pay his "fair share"? I know he paid what he owed but does this meet the "fair share" threshold since he was in the 1% last year?

His income was not capital gains, so he didn’t benefit from the lower rate like most 1%ers
