Former Vice President Joe Biden widened his commanding lead over the Democratic primary field, according to a poll released Wednesday.

Suffolk University, who conducted the poll on behalf of USA Today, found Biden as the top choice of 32 percent of likely Democratic voters, a 2 point increase from June.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) were the only other candidates to register double-digit support in the new survey, at 14 percent and 12 percent, respectively.

Warren’s support grew 4 points since the last survey, while Sanders’s dropped by 3 points.

The Massachusetts lawmaker was also the top second-choice candidate, with 17 percent of respondents listing her as their second choice.

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), each at 6 percent, and entrepreneur Andrew Yang, at 3 percent, were the only other candidates to clear 2 percent support.
