Biden, who announced his candidacy last Thursday and held his first rally on Monday in Pittsburgh, is now the first choice of more than one-third of people considering joining the state's primary or Democratic caucus, with 36% of Democratic voters have said they would prefer the former vice president as the party's candidate to assume President Donald Trump next year. This is a 6-point increase over last week, when Biden led the pack with 30%.

The poll was held from April 22 to April 28 and polled 15,475 voters who plan to vote in a Democratic primary or caucus. The margin of error is plus or minus 1 percentage point.

Biden's mini-up gives him a 14-point lead over second place candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Who is at 22%.

The two-in-seven are the only two-figure candidates for the ballot, although the next level is cluttered. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) Is third at 9%, followed closely by South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at 8%. Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) Is 7% and former representative Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) at 5%.

Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) Is at 3%, and both candidates at 2%, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) And entrepreneur Andrew Yang. Eight candidates are tied (1%): Washington governor Jay Inslee, former representative John Delaney (D-MD), former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper, former secretary from HUD, Julián Castro, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (DN.Y.), Governor of Montana, Steve Bullock, representing Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii).

Although Biden is one step ahead of Sanders, there are revealing cleavages among Democrats, especially according to racial criteria and age.

Biden's lead among white voters, from 34% to 26%, is below his overall advantage. But the former vice president has a bigger advantage with black voters, 44% to 20%, and Harris at 10%. Among Hispanic voters, Biden is leading Sanders, between 30% and 27%.

Sanders is a year older than Biden, but the Vermont senator is the favorite of young voters. He leads Biden among voters under 30: 36% to 23%.

But Biden has the support of almost half of people aged 65 and over, with 48%. Sanders fights between these older voters, with only 10%, one point behind Buttigieg.

Biden leads Sanders 9 points among men, from 33% to 24%. But he has a lead of 18 points in women, from 38% to 20%.

Since Morning Consult began following the Democrat race in January, Biden was the leader every week. But the latest survey represents a new record for Biden, which has dropped as much as 29%.

Biden's six-point rebound links Sanders to the most important record that Morning Consult has measured around the candidate's announcement. Immediately after Sanders launched his campaign, he also scored 6 points at the end of February, without Biden being closely watched, between 29% and 27%.
