The most likely Sanders voters to turn away from Clinton in a general election include independents, moderates, whites and men.


Now obviously, we all know she does less well with white men, but she simply can't get independents and she's even likely to lose moderates? That's her home field advantage. That tells you that liberals are simply willing to vote for any Dem that wins, but moderates are wishy washy support for Clinton at best.

ETA: also,

Sanders, an independent, edges Clinton nationally thanks to solid support from several groups. He leads 76-23 percent among those 29 and younger; 63-31 percent among Latinos; 62-32 among independents; 58-38 among the unmarried; and 56-42 among liberals.


He also leads with Native Americans from all I've seen so far.

Final nail in the coffin for 'Bernie attracts only whites'.
