Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Just to review: Sanders in 2016 got 60%. Sanders in 2020 getting 26%.
It seems that, if people have choices available, they don't choose Sanders.

Wow, I thought it was 50% less. It is even worse than that. Interesting perspective

Right. The larger field doesn't explain why half his voters didn't stick with him this time.

We always knew that a lot of his 2016 was at least as much a vote against HRC,

It seems that 34% difference is comprised of the ABC group - Anybody But Clinton.

(11,986 posts)10. We always knew that a lot of his 2016 was at least as much a vote against HRC,
so yeah, he benefited from being the Hillary alternative. Still, today, where voters have many options, it seems more Dem voters are liking Sanders than are liking anyone else.

It's not reflective of a drop in Bernie's support, although there likely is a slight one.

I really doubt SC will be good to him.
