According to The Hill:
Dem insiders predict Biden won’t run
I'm not so sure, and I would have no problem seeing Vice President Biden enter the race. Competition can be good within any party. I am still quite sure that Clinton is going to clinch the nomination.
But it's interesting that DEM insiders think he will not run. Wait and see.
Dem insiders predict Biden won’t run
When the dust settles after Vice President Joe Biden’s flirtation with a presidential bid, Democratic insiders believe he’ll sit out 2016.
The majority of the more than a dozen party strategists who spoke to The Hill on the condition of anonymity don’t believeeitherthat Biden can surmount the difficulties of pulling together a top-flight organization so close to the Iowa caucuses or that Hillary Clinton has truly fallen low enough to give him a large enough opening.
“For all the bedwetting Democrat stories, there haven’t been this stampede of people who said they are going to leave the Clinton campaign or are upset,” said a Democratic strategist who worked on multiple presidential campaigns.
“She still remains very strong nationally and in the primary.”
Intrigue around a potential Biden bid has swelled amid concerns from some Democrats about her campaign and her standing in the polls that many attribute to the slow drip of controversy surrounding her private email server.
Clinton’s favorables have dipped to 41 percent in a new Gallup poll, and a recent Quinnipiac poll found that the majority of people associate a negative term with her.
No Republican has topped her in major national polling outside of a mid-August Fox News poll that showed Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and former Gov. Jeb Bush (Fla.) with leads inside the margin of error. But her lead has narrowed against her GOP rivals.
