56% is appreciably less that 75%.

Obama needed to turn 7% to attain a majority for him.
sanders needs to turn 26% to attain a majority for him.

And sanders has been running for 5 years. At this point Obama (still relatively unknown) had been runnig for 1 year.

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