Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden would be nearly tied for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination if the former first lady were running again, a new poll reveals.

The survey by Harvard Harris shows that Clinton would get 18 percent of the vote if she entered the race today, while 19 percent of Democrats would vote for Biden, who has 33 percent of the support currently. 

Nearly 2,000 registered voters filled out an online survey from October 28-31 to determine these numbers.

This poll comes just a month after Clinton teased in a PBS interview that she could 'beat' Trump in 2020.

Last month Clinton vented during a PBS NewsHour interview about the issue that spelled her political demise, saying that 'nothing has been more examined and looked at than my emails, we all know that. So, he’s either lying or delusional, or both.'

'There was no subpoena as he says in a tweet this morning, so, maybe there does need to be a rematch,' she continued.

And then in a stunning declaration, she deadpanned: 'I mean, obviously, I can beat him again.' 

Just last week  Dick Morris, the GOP political consultant who advised President Clinton when he was facing impeachment, also hinted at a third presidential run. 

'The issue is will the ghost of Hillary Clinton come out and get into the election?' Morris told John Catsimatidis on 'The Cats Roundtable' Sunday, a spooky thought for many Democrats at the beginning of Halloween week. 'She wants to. She feels entitled to do it. She feels compelled to do it. She feels that God put her on the Earth to do it.' 

Morris - who went from adviser to enemy of the Clintons - floated that Hillary Clinton was holding back because 'she realized the timing is bad' because the #MeToo movement is still prominently in the news. 

'In the whole issue of sexual harassment, the focus has shifted from the perpetrator - the offender - to the victim,' Morris noted. 'We're increasingly looking at the women who were victimized and the agony they went through: Weinstein's victims. Epstein's victims. Clinton's victims.'

Morris explained that Hillary Clinton becomes ensnared in her husband's past problems when Americans are looking at what happened through the victims' eyes. 

'When she had private detectives digging up dirt on the women her husband has victimized to keep them silent, that is squarely her scandal,' Morris said. 'So she is scared to death that the #MeToo movement will turn on her because she has now committed a major offense.' 

Ronan Farrow's new book 'Catch and Kill,' exposes some of the tactics used by Weinstein and other high-profile predators to silence their female victims.  

Morris also said that Clinton couldn't get in until 'Biden drops out.' 

'If he goes away, there is an opening for her - because at that point all the Democrats are going to say, "Oh my God, are we going to nominate Elizabeth Warren and be left with only a left-wing, crazy, George McGovern-like candidate?" ... We're going to get clobbered,' Morris said. 

In this scenario, Clinton marches in. 

'And Hillary will dust off her credentials and say, "I'm the moderate,"' Morris said. 'But to do so she will have to escape withering fire about her role as the persecutor of the victims in sexual harassment scandals.' 

'But make no mistake, she wants it, she's planning on it. She'll do everything she can to achieve it,' Morris offered.
