But a new Pew Research analysis shows that these dead-enders are very much a minority in the Democratic Party, because 90% of those who consistently supported Sanders in the primaries are now supporting Hillary Clinton against the Trumpenstein.
Hillary Clinton led Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination in every Pew Research Center survey conducted throughout the party’s primaries. But many Democratic voters vacillated in their candidate support throughout this period.
Today, however, overwhelming shares of all Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters – including 90% who consistently supported Sanders for the nomination – back Clinton in the general election against Donald Trump.
