Joe Biden has a 16 percentage-point lead over Bernie Sanders in a new Morning Consult poll out Friday, a sign that he’s still gaining momentum following his surprise Super Tuesday victories in 10 of the 14 state primaries that day.
The poll of national Democratic primary voters showed that Biden captured 54 percent to 38 percent for Sanders, who won four states on Tuesday.
And 51 percent of those surveyed said Biden had the best chance of beating President Trump — up 18 points since a post-South Carolina poll less than a week ago.
The survey of 1,390 Democratic primary voters was conducted Thursday, after Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren ended her campaign, and has a 3-point margin of error.
