News Alert: Long-shot Dems see little downside in running for president

View in your browser     Long-shot Dems see little downside in running for president Tim Ryan. John Delaney. Eric Swalwell. Their names don't spark the same nods of recognition as Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders, but these are three of the 24 Democrats running for president.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's polling average is 0.3 percent, just behind Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's  (D-N.Y.) 0.4 percent.
