Are there any polls showing how the race breaks down by people paying close attention, vs those not?


I ask this because I suspect that those following the primary race closely are more likely to support Bernie, whereas those who aren't engaged yet probably are more inclined to respond with Hillary as their choice, only because she's the default candidate.

The most recent data I can find indicates that only 25% were paying close attention back in May. Also, in this survey, 58% of Democrats said they had never heard of Bernie Sanders.

it comes time to vote. I was telling her how good I thought Hillary would be as president two weeks ago.
Her reply was "what about Sanders?"
I was freaked she said that
