A poll from USA TODAY and Suffolk University shows that nearly a quarter of Bernie Sanders supporters don't plan to vote for Joe Biden.
Despite Biden and Sanders working together to win over the Vermont senator’s supporters, the majority of them are not enthused by Biden.
“This potentially impacts not only fundraising and volunteer support, but the all-important “ground game” necessary to win in November – even a digital ground game in the shadow of the novel coronavirus,” David Paleologos, director of Suffolk University Political Research Center, said in a statement.
David Barker, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University, said that it's common to see a large percentage of disgruntled supporters from other primary challengers at this point of the electoral cycle. However, Barker said that 2016 was a contradiction to this rule among Democrats, adding that"we can’t be too sure that they won’t do the same thing in 2020."
