Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont has a sizable lead in Nevada ahead of Saturday’s caucuses, according to a survey released on Monday.
Mr. Sanders was the top choice of 35% of likely caucusgoers, according to the poll from Data for Progress, a liberal think tank.
He was followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts at 16%, former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 15% and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden at 14%.
Billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer was next at 10% support and was followed by Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota at 9%.
Mr. Sanders was buoyed by overwhelming support from Hispanic voters. He was the top choice of 66% of Latinos, with Mr. Steyer the next-closest at 8%.
The survey of 766 likely Nevada caucusgoers was taken from Feb. 12-15 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
