Behind Warren and Bloomberg, former South Bend, Ind. mayor Pete Buttigieg grew his national support to 13% in February, up 5 points from the previous NBC/WSJ poll. Preliminary analysis of the results indicates that the biggest beneficiaries of Biden's tumbling numbers were Bloomberg and Buttigieg, both moderates who are working hard to offer voters an alternative to the stridently progressive message coming from Sanders.
The survey also measured comfort levels among voters with certain qualities in a presidential candidate for the first time this month. These include a candidate who "who self-funds their campaign with hundreds of millions of dollars of their own money" and a candidate who "is a socialist."
