Fifty-two percent of the party’s voters said it’s important that the Democratic presidential nominee be a political insider, compared with 29 percent who preferred an outside operator.

So who do Democrats perceive as representing the party’s political establishment?

The poll asked voters to rank a list of current and possible 2020 Democratic candidates on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being a political insider and 10 meaning they’re a political outsider.

Turns out, it’s most of them: Democratic voters put 10 of the 17 names listed at a rating on the “insider” half of the spectrum, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the strongest and best-known candidate in the current field who considered himself a political outsider against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic ticket in the 2016 presidential election.

Sanders scored at 3.6 among Democrats, with only former Vice President Joe Biden (2.8) -- who has hinted heavily at a run in recent weeks -- viewed as more of an insider. Both septuagenarians are leading in Morning Consult’s weekly Democratic tracking polls of Democratic primary voters, despite a strong preference among Democratic voters for someone under 70.
