A poll of likely Florida Democratic primary voters released Thursday showed former Vice President Joe Biden in the lead, with 61 percent support compared to Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vt.) 13 percent support. Florida is home of the fourth biggest chunk of delegates in the 2020 Democratic primary race, and is set to vote in its primary on March 17. Biden's backing is a dramatic increase from the 34 percent he received in late February, and seems to draw directly from former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other moderate candidates' supporters. Sanders' support in Florida has meanwhile remained relatively flat throughout the race, the poll shows. Dave Wasserman, an editor at Cook Political Report, said the poll means "barring a seismic event, this race is pretty much over" and will end in Biden's favor.
