24. Right, his number isn't as high as Biden's, but these are %, not raw numbers....

....and overall he's not getting as much support as Biden. Put another way, for viewers of the three outlets, less of those who support Biden watch Fox than the other two (42%, vs. 43% and 44%), whereas of those who support Sanders more watch Fox (22% vs. 16% and 13%) A higher % of those who support Sanders watch Fox than the other two, a lower % of those who support Biden watch Fox.

It's all a math thing.

It's also an indirect indication that a lot of Fox viewers (i.e., conservatives/republicans) are looking to cross over to vote for Sanders in open primaries, maybe because Sanders poses less of a threat to their preferred candidate, trump, than Biden does.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

He still doesn't so nearly as well with Fox viewers as Biden does. (n/t) thesquanderer May 2019 #17
In case you missed the point, Biden's Fox % is lower than his % for CNN and MSNBC.... George II May 2019 #18
But Sanders Fox% is still not nearly as high as Biden's. So what does that mean? thesquanderer May 2019 #22

Yep. Remember Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" in 2008... JaneQPublic May 2019 #11
Limbaugh and Fox News are Morons! MineralMan May 2019 #12

Why not say something positive about Joe Biden instead of digging up trivial dirt on Sanders? mtnsnake May 2019 #14
Looks like Fox viewers are influenced by Russian bots NYMinute May 2019 #19
Fox-watchers live to "own the libs." That's why they love 45, and they view Bernie as a disruptor. VOX May 2019 #20
You nailed that one! Thekaspervote May 2019 #29
