Sen. Sanders holds a double-digit lead over his closest Democratic rival in Texas, while he’s essentially tied with Joe Biden in North Carolina, according to a pair of NBC News/Marist polls taken before Biden's victory Saturday in South Carolina.
As in past primaries and polling, Sanders overperforms in these two states among likely Democratic primary voters under the age of 45, self-described progressives, and Latinos.
Both Sanders and Biden lead Trump in hypothetical general election matchups among registered voters, though both results are within the margin of error. And Republicans hold a 6-point lead in congressional preference in the state, 48 percent to 42 percent.In North Carolina’s Democratic Senate primary for the opportunity to face Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., in the fall, former state Sen. Cal Cunningham gets support from 51 percent of likely Democratic primary voters, while state Sen. Erica Smith gets 18 percent.
And in Texas’s Democratic Senate primary for the right to challenge Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, former 2018 congressional nominee MJ Hegar gets the backing of 16 percent of likely primary voters, community organizer Cristina Tzintzun Ramirez gets 9 percent and state Sen. Royce West gets 8 percent.The Top 2 candidates advance to a May 26 runoff if no candidate gets more than 50 percent in the March 3 primary.
