It's not surprising that Yang and Sanders supporters are least likely to vote for anyone but their respective favs - both of whom are extremists in their own way - but I do find interesting that only 72% of respondents will vote for any other Dem. It seems the chasm within the party - one that Dems do their best to deny or ignore - is far too deep and wide to be bridged ... perhaps permanently.
Yang, Sanders supporters least likely to support any other Democratic presidential nominee, poll says
Emerson College/7 News poll that found 42 percent of Yang's supporters would not consider backing any other Democratic candidate if he loses the nomination. Overall, the same polling data showed that 72 percent of Democratic primary voters plan on voting for the party's nominee even if their first choice doesn't prevail in the primaries.
But only about half of both Sanders and Yang's supporters agreed that they would support any second choice.
