RALEIGH, N.C. — Two weeks out from North Carolina's March 3 primary, three Democrats are in essentially a dead heat for the state's presidential nomination, according to a new WRAL News poll.

Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders each garnered 22 percent support, while former Vice President Joe Biden was at 20 percent in the exclusive poll, conducted last Thursday through Sunday by SurveyUSA.

Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg led the second tier of Democratic candidates in the poll, with 11 percent support, followed by U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren at 8 percent and Amy Klobuchar at 5 percent. Eleven percent of respondents remain undecided.

SurveyUSA polled 2,335 registered voters in the scientific poll, producing a margin of error on the approval questions of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points. Of those registered voters, 698 indicated they would likely cast a Democratic ballot by Election Day, while another 501 said they would likely cast a Republican ballot, producing margins of error on individual race questions of plus or minus 5 to 5.6 percentage points.
