The former vice president led Trump in a hypothetical matchup 53 percent to 39 percent, with 9 percent undecided.
George Walper, the president of Spectrem Group, said:
“I think what it tells us is that millionaires think that Biden is better against Trump than the other candidates."
“Nearly half of Democratic millionaires plan to donate to the 2020 campaign or have already donated, according to the survey, that compares with less than a third of Republicans,” CNBC reported.
Out of the 750 surveyed millionaires, here's what they identified as:

CNBC presented neither a margin of error or date for when the poll was conducted.
The poll did show Biden came top as the millionaires favorite but didn't necessarily extend to everyone int he Democratic field.
Biden is still way out in front as the Democrats' best hope for the 2020 presidential election, despite the recent "Creepy Uncle Joe" scandal, according to other polls.
An April poll by Saint Anselm College Survey Center shows Biden is still positioned as the Democratic Party's best bet to take on President Donald Trump, even though the ex-VP hasn't officially announced his bid yet.
According to the St. Anselm College poll, Biden, who has not yet entered the race, leads the ballot test with 23 percent.
