2. No, Bernie has not gained, it's Biden losing voters to Warren, Bloomberg and Buttigieg.

Bernie's percentages are about what they were in 2016, around 30%, but now the Hillary vote is split up among a lot more candidates.


And in 2016 Bernie got 58.98% of the vote in the Colorado caucuses (41 delegates to Hillary's 25). Now he's only got 34% in CO. His support has literally fallen off by half.

In 2016 Bernie got 33% of the vote in VA. This poll says he's only getting 28% now. That is not a gain.

This candidate field is just too damn big.

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