The poll is a boon for Sanders, whose campaign has sought to show that the Vermont progressive can win over conservative voters and moderates as he cements his place as the front-runner for the nomination amid fears from some Democratic Party members that his brand of democratic socialism would be unpalatable in swing states.

The survey also showed a clear disadvantage for Biden's campaign in the form of Bloomberg, whose presence in the race appears to be primarily siphoning votes from the former vice president. The PPP survey also asked voters for their first choice in the primary race were Bloomberg not running, and in that hypothetical scenario, Biden leads Sanders in the state by 6 points, 31 percent to 25 percent.

PPP's survey tabulated results from 1,045 likely Democratic primary voters in Texas between Feb. 24-25 with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
