It scares me that about 40% of caucus goers don't put "stop the disaster" first.

Obviously, it was a photo finish in 2016. Those who supported Clinton then turned out in significantly larger numbers this time than those who supported Sanders last cycle. Nearly double the rate. That's kind of amazing.

Hard to tell what it means, though. Did Sanders 2016 attendees lose interest since then?

That seems like a high % to me. Did they support Trump or some other GOP? Inquiring minds want to know.

They didn't support either because a) they didn't caucus in 2016, or b) they weren't old enough to vote yet in 2016.

Some did probably support Trump, but I suspect it's a fairly small percentage.
