ALBANY — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg are New York Democrats' top two choices for president, according to a Siena College Research Institute poll released Monday.

Sanders, from neighboring Vermont, garnered the highest support among registered Democrats, clocking in at 25 percent, with Bloomberg in second place at 21 percent — a four-point difference that falls within the poll's margin of error. Following far behind were former Vice President Joe Biden with 13 percent support; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 11 percent; and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg tied at 9 percent.

It's a stark difference from late November, when another Siena poll indicated that New Yorkers increasingly favored Biden for the nomination, putting him on top with 24 percent support, followed by Warren at 14 percent and Sanders at just 13 percent. That poll was released just days before Bloomberg announced his White House run.

“This is more of a snapshot of Democrats than pre-election poll, since it is likely that South Carolina (on Saturday) and Super Tuesday (on March 3) will significantly reduce the size of the field, and this poll did not look at likely primary voters," said Siena College pollster Steve Greenberg.

New York's presidential primary will be held on April 28 — nearly two months after South Carolina's primary and the Super Tuesday primaries of 14 states and one U.S. territory.

But no matter who the Democratic nominee is, it still appears that New York will be a firmly blue state this year: Each of the six leading Democratic candidates won double-digit leads over President Donald Trump in head-to-head comparisons. Still, 62 percent of voters across the political spectrum believe Trump will be re-elected this November, including 48 percent of registered Democrats and 73 percent of independents.

If a Democrat were to come out on top, 33 percent of voters believe Bloomberg has the best chance to become president, followed by Sanders at 22 percent.

Separately, Monday's poll also indicated that support for recently enacted bail reform is on a continued decline. Fifty-nine percent of voters believe the reform, which eliminated the use of pre-trial detention and cash bail for most misdemeanors and non-violent felonies, is bad for New York — up from 49 percent who opposed the law last month

Just a third of New Yorkers believe the change is good for the state, a drop from the 55 percent of voters who favored the law when it was passed in April 2019. In the two months it has been in effect, the law has received intense backlash from Republicans and some Democrats who say the reform places dangerous criminals back on the streets.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has indicated that he would like to include changes to bail reform in the annual budget due by March 31, and state Senate Democrats have a plan to do just that. But Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie has so far stood by the law , arguing that opponents are spreading misinformation about the reform and that it's too early to make any amendments.

Siena polled 658 registered voters, including 315 registered Democrats, between Feb. 16 and 20. The margin of error is 4.5 percent for questions involving all New Yorkers and 6.6 percent for questions involving only Democrats.
