a long time ago.

It's one third of voters, not Democrats, and for all you know, some of those voters in that poll might be Republicans who want Sanders to drop out because they are scared shitless of him beating Trump.

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