which I found surprising.

I think this demonstrates that many on DU are underestimating Sanders' broad national appeal, as well as the left-wing's (Sanders+Warren) broad national appeal. There are relatively few areas where Biden is doing better than either one of them.

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