2. Well, two different polling with upside, downside results . . .

LOL

At this point in time, I find it quite amusing to a certain extent in this serious election year.

Super Tuesday will be the litmus test.

3. It's interesting when you compare with/without 'leaners'

It seems those who are somewhat on the fence between Pendejo Naranja and any Democrat will more likely choose Bernie over other Democrats. IOW, Bernie's larger lead when 'leaners' are included (the above) seems to come from tRump supporters switching sides.

Edit: for those who don't wish to forage through the polling data:

2/17/20 - Summary Table
Would
The Other Neither not vote No
Trump Democrat (vol.) (vol.) (vol.) opinion
a. Joe Biden 44 52 * 2 1 1
b. Bernie Sanders 42 53 * 3 1 1
c. Elizabeth Warren 45 50 * 3 1 1
d. Mike Bloomberg 43 52 * 2 1 2
e. Pete Buttigieg 43 50 1 3 1 2
f. Amy Klobuchar 45 48 * 3 1 2

2/17/20 - Summary Table among registered voters
Would
The Other Neither not vote No
Trump Democrat (vol.) (vol.) (vol.) opinion
a. Joe Biden 45 52 0 2 1 1
b. Bernie Sanders 45 51 0 3 1 *
c. Elizabeth Warren 47 48 * 2 1 *
d. Mike Bloomberg 45 50 * 2 1 1
e. Pete Buttigieg 46 49 1 3 1 1
f. Amy Klobuchar 46 48 * 3 1 1

See how tRump goes from 45 to 42 vs Bernie when 'leaners' are included. That's the lowest level of support for tRump with the largest lead for the Democrat, my conclusion, voters who are 'leaning' are saying they'd prefer Bernie over Rump.

7. "tRump supporters switching sides"

Highly unlikely. People who have a Democratic lean already weren't Trump supporters, and Trump's base isn't going anywhere.

10. One would think so

Yet, I have several people in my FB feed who swear up and down that they would have voted for Bernie if he were the nominee.

4. Warren beats Trump and is top candidate for second choice.

She really is the unifying bridge candidate between the two factions.

8. If we end up with a "brokered convention" I can easily see that.

I can't see Democrats turning to someone who did not compete, and if the delegates are otherwise deadlocked, Warren could emerge.

Of course the case can be made for Warren as a unity candidate NOW, but unless she shows unexpected strength in NV and SC I think that train will leave the station.

EC match-ups state by state are the only ones that matter.
