The results showcased significantly lower percentages of support because the survey asked respondents to pick a candidate they supported without a list of names provided. 

The survey appeared to show that the 2020 Democratic field remains wide open. Fifty-four percent of respondents did not volunteer any candidate when asked who they would vote for if a primary was held today. 

The Post notes that Biden's support has increased by 4 points since a similar poll conducted in January. Sanders's support shot up by 5 points, as did Buttigieg. 

Buttigieg's name was not volunteered by any respondent in the January poll, the Post noted. 

Biden, Sanders and Buttigieg have surged to the top of many polls over the last couple months. Biden officially launched his 2020 campaign for president last week. 

The Post-ABC poll was conducted between April 22 and April 25 among a national population of 1,001 adults. The margin of error is 5.5 percentage points.
