Bloomberg, who said he entered the race to stop Sanders, is actually siphoning the most support from Biden. The poll asked respondents both who they would support with and without Bloomberg in the race, revealing he takes 7% support from Biden in the state.
The poll finds that the battle for Latino voter support in Texas is a three-way race, with Sanders once again leading at 27% after dominating with Hispanics in Nevada, but closely followed by Biden at 23% and Bloomberg at 22%.
Bloomberg recently unleashed a $30 million direct mail and digital ad campaign aimed at Latino voters in Super Tuesday states, which is considered the largest Super Tuesday campaign of its kind ever in a Democratic primary.
“With Latinos, what you’re looking at is Bloomberg’s money at work,” @EdEspinoza of Progress Texas said.
Biden’s strength with African-American voters may have slipped slightly nationally, but he leads in Texas with 39% support from black voters, followed by Sanders at 21% and Bloomberg at 16%.
