Second Choices: Bernie or Biden? (Asking for a friend) [View all]

[Vidal]

Recently a friend (a huge Bernie Supporter) wrote to me the following:

"When some of these candidates drop out of the race where are their supporters going to turn? All the "non-Biden" candidates are significantly left of center compared to Biden. Why would they abandon this Progressive stance to support him? His policies are diametrically opposed to most of the policies of these other candidates."

His conclusion is that as many candidates drop out, their supporters will flock to Bernie. This means Bernie's true support is much higher than the polls show.

Is this right? Can anyone back that up with data?

Thanks!
