Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has surged back into a single-digit deficit behind former Vice President Joe Biden in a poll of the Democratic primary field.
Sanders trails Biden by 9 percentage points in a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday, just one week after trailing the former vice president by 21 points in the same poll.
The Vermont senator sits at 39 percent among registered Democratic voters in the poll, compared to 48 percent for Biden. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), the only other high-profile Democratic contender remaining in the race, sat at 2 percent in the poll.
Sanders is hoping for a resurgence in the primary after a damaging series of losses to Biden in South Carolina, ten states voting on Super Tuesday and then in Michigan last week. He now trails Biden by about 150 pledged delegates.
Three states are holding contests on Tuesday, with Biden favored in all three. But the coronavirus crisis gripping the country has added some uncertainty to the contests ahead. Ohio was also scheduled to hold a primary on Tuesday, but it was postponed due to worries about coronavirus.

Two percent is high profile?
A cat with mange would be competitive with Biden right now.
Their convention in July, if it happens, is gonna be great!
Burney is just going through the motions.
I hope the Corona doesn’t take him down.
Are Democrat voters figuring out Slow Joe really is Dementia Joe after all?
Everyone loves a horse race, and the media will keep up that appearance.
I wonder why they're not saying how he'd do against Trump?
Good time to be a Commie.
Bernie can just see the new boat slip the DNC is going to add to the Dacha given him by Hillary.
.......Its quite a race folks! Paid Looser is closing in on “Ol Malarkey as they round the 1/2 mile post.........
We should have our own poll, who sucks worse; Crazy Bernie or Senile Joe?
“Reuters poll finds Sanders cutting Biden national lead to single digits”
IF TRUE, that’s a bit surprising because Biden didn’t crash and burn during the last debate and Bernie didn’t particularly overwhelm anyone with his performance ...
It could. He looks like a borderline frail guy.
Just my thought on him.
If Biden would just shut his freaking mouth - he might be just fine.
But the more he flaps his gums and lets them dentures flop around - the better off Bernie is.
Sometimes I go to vote and there are names on the ballot of people I've never even heard of.
I am hoping that in today’s CV-ridden primaries, the Biden folks will stay home, and the Bernie folks being fanatics will all show up, and Bernie will win several places he should have lost.
Then, the DNC will decide this wasn’t “fair”, and will change the rules, and the Bernie people will go postal.
!!
I dunno, right about now the democrat voters are probably looking at these two and wondering who has a better chance of surviving the Kung Flu. Sanders may be making up some serious ground.
On a serious note, the narrowing of these polls shows that Bernie has enough support such the the democrats will not simply be able to cut this process short and give Biden a default win due to the virus.
That is not good news vis-a-vis unifying the party.
If that keeps up how are they gonna be able to swap Hillary in for Biden?
