Emerson College pollsters said that both Sanders and Buttigieg have shown consistent strength in polls this year, but noted that the two had a long way to go if Biden announces a bid for the White House.
“Sanders in this years [sic] state polling is consistently keeping between 35 percent to 60 percent of his vote from 2016, suggesting he has a strong base of supporters to work with,” poll director Spencer Kimball said.
“Mayor Pete has performed well for our third poll in a row, indicating an increase in support for the South Bend Mayor, though Pennsylvania looks like it could be a Joe Biden firewall,” he added.
Emerson College’s poll surveyed 808 registered voters in Pennsylvania from March 26 to 28, and the margin of error for the sample of Democratic voters is plus or minus 5.1 percentage points.
