My study of second-choice polling data all the way back in September told me that once Hillary Clinton became the democratic nominee, around eighty-five percent of Bernie Sanders supporters nationwide would get behind her and vote for her in November. The other fifteen percent? Well, weve been witnessing them having one meltdown after another across social media this week. But the point is that theyre a rather small, if disturbingly loud and obsessive, minority of Bernies base. And they can safely be ignored, because today we received some new hard data which backs up my premise of forthcoming party unity.
With the California democratic primary vote still more than two months away on June 7th, there is still the possibility that Bernie Sanders could win the state, even though hes 2.6 million votes behind Hillary Clinton nationwide and he has no chance of winning the nomination. New polling from USC and the Los Angeles Times places Hillary Clinton eight points ahead in the state, while the PPIC poll says Hillary is seven points ahead, meaning California still potentially up for grabs for Bernie. But even with Sanders fans in California still holding out hope of handing him victory there, that same polling reveals that eighty percent of Bernie fans say theyll vote for Hillary in November.
In other words, most Bernie supporters in California already know hes not going to be the nominee, and most of them are already willing to say out loud to a pollster that theyll vote for Hillary Clinton when the time comes.............
