Bernie Sanders leaps to first among Texas Democrats in latest UT/TT Poll

[Tom Rinaldo]

4. Something worth noting here

Even with Bloomberg included in this poll the findings counter a mainstream media talking point that so called "moderates" represent two thirds of the Democratic electorate while so called "progressives" have the support of only a third. Though in reality people don't fit neatly into labels and support from one candidate to another is not fully transferable, for the sake of the standard exercise the media loves to play:

Sanders 24%
Warren 15%
Yang 6%

Equals 45%


Biden 22%
Bloomberg 10%
Buttigieg 7%
Klobuchar 3%

Equals 42%

And my hunch is that the rest of the field leans more progressive than moderate. And this is in Texas.
