The Economist / YouGov survey is the latest to date showing some reshuffles in the Democratic area.

Sanders has been in second place behind Biden in most public polls for months, but recent polls have shown Warren and Harris to be ahead.

On average, RealClearPolitics estimates that Sanders is still in second place, behind Biden by almost 12 points.

During his confrontation with Biden during the first Democratic primary debate that took place late last month, Harris recorded a sharp rise in the Economist / YouGov survey, rising from 7% to 15% the following week.

This confrontation centered on the former vice-president's opposition to "school transportation" during his early years as a senator in the 1970s.

The latest Economist / YouGov survey, however, suggests that Harris' post-debate hike may slow as attention shifts to the next round of primary debate scheduled for later this month.

The poll polled 1,500 people, including 1,140 registered voters, during online interviews conducted from July 7 to 9. Its margin of error is plus or minus 2.6% for the entire sample and 3% for registered voters.
