A new poll shows Sen. Bernie Sanders and former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg tied for first place in Virginia — a Democratic race in which only one in four voters say they are firm in their choice of nominee.

The poll, released Tuesday by Monmouth University, ranks Bloomberg and Sanders (I-Vt.) as each having 22 percent support from likely Virginia voters, while former Vice President Joe Biden appears close behind them with 18 percent support.

Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg polls fourth with 11 percent support, followed by Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota with 7 percent and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts with 6 percent. The poll’s margin of error is 4.9 percentage points.

The findings come just two weeks before Virginia voters head to the polls in the fourth-largest state participating in the March 3 Super Tuesday contests. In total, 99 delegates are at stake in the race.

The poll also shows how in flux the Democratic primary race is, with one in 10 voters telling Monmouth they were completely undecided and only one in four saying they were set in their pick.

Bloomberg, having made too late an entry into the race to compete in the first four contests of the primary, has devoted his resources to Super Tuesday states in order to gain the necessary delegates to clinch the nomination.

Monmouth’s poll marks the first time the billionaire 2020 hopeful has surpassed 20 percent support in a state survey, indicating that his hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign ad spending is beginning to pay off.
