BOSTON — With just two days to go before the Massachusetts presidential primary, Sen. Elizabeth Warren finds herself in a virtual tie with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in a new Suffolk University/WBZ/Boston Globe poll.

In the poll of 500 Democrats, conducted Feb. 26-29, Sanders draws the support of 24.2 percent, compared to Warren's 22.2 percent, well within the survey’s 4.4 percent margin of error.

In a bit of a surprise, Michael Bloomberg sits in third place, just a fraction ahead of Pete Buttigieg. Joe Biden places fifth, but those three are all within the margin of error.
