THREAD: New Texas presidential poll of 1,045 likely Democratic primary voters. Commissioned by @ProgressTX with @ppppolls, conducted Feb. 24th & 25th via phone and text. Margin of error +/- 3%. To get data this quickly we had to keep it short. Here we go... 1/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls Super Tuesday is the first time Bloomberg will be on the ballot, we wanted to see how his appearance impacts the race. So we asked voters their preferences with and without Bloomberg. We also tested approval/disapproval ratings and top issue. 2/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls With Bloomberg on the Texas ballot:
Biden 24
Bernie 24
Bloomberg 17
Warren 14
Buttigieg 10
Klobuchar 4
Gabbard 1
Steyer 1

Without Bloomberg on Texas ballot:
Biden 31
Bernie 25
Warren 17
Buttigieg 11
Klobuchar 7
Steyer 3
Gabbard 1

3/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls Thus Bloomberg's emergence has the biggest impact on Biden in Texas (7 points). The rest of his support is spread out among Warren and Klobuchar (3 each) and Steyer goes from 1 to 3.

4/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls Texas approval/disapproval ratings:

Warren 66/19
Biden 64/18
Bernie 60/27
Bloomberg 41/39

Bloomberg's negatives are remarkably high, especially considering his heavy ad buys here.

5/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls Texas young voters (for the purposes of this quick poll, that's those aged 18-45):

Bernie 42
Warren 21
Biden 11
Buttigieg 11
Bloomberg 8
Undecided 5
Klobuchar 2
Gabbard 1
Steyer 1

Notable: Bloomberg's approval/disapproval plummets to 21/62 among younger voters. 6/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls Texas voters age 46 and up are divided fairly evenly between Biden, Bernie, Bloomberg, and Warren.

7/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls We asked Texas Democratic primary voters their second choices: Warren was the most popular second choice overall, followed by Biden and Bernie. 8/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls Latinos:
Bernie 27
Biden 23
Bloomberg 22
Most popular overall second choice: Warren 24

African Americans:
Biden 39
Bernie 21
Bloomberg 39
Most popular overall second choice: Undecided 22

Women/Men:
Generally, few notable gender splits outside the MOE.

9/10

@ProgressTX @ppppolls When asked which issue was important, 42% said Health Care, 16% said Climate Change, and 11% said voting rights (including gerrymandering and voter reg). Similar numbers were reflected across demographic categories.

10/10

UPDATE: typo on the African American support. Bloomberg is not at 39, he’s at 16. My apologies!
