While Sanders’ supporters may have more apprehension about Biden than the average Democrat, there is no statistical difference between the two when it comes to their views about Trump. The latest poll found 13 percent of Sanders supporters and 12 percent of Democrats approve of the president’s job performance, while 86 percent and 85 percent, respectively disapprove.
In nationwide polling, Sanders only briefly led the race.
His increase in support came after Biden’s faltering in the early contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, tearing away at voters’ notions about Biden’s “electability” against Trump. After Iowa, Biden lost support among almost every group in the Democratic Party — liberals and conservatives, older voters and black voters, the core of Biden’s support. And after New Hampshire, Sanders briefly gained ground with black voters, whose confidence in the democratic socialist’s ability to win in November plummeted along with the overall Democratic primary electorate.
But that advantage was erased when Biden won the South Carolina primary and racked up victories on Super Tuesday, fueled by endorsements from three of his former rivals in the Democratic contest: former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg of Indiana, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas.
Sanders supporters had hoped for an endorsement by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a liberal like himself who had endorsed similar policies and backed “big structural change.” But that never came, and her exit preceded an increase in Biden’s lead in national polling that would become insurmountable for Sanders.
Sanders’ exit from the race does not mean he is going away entirely. In his remarks on Wednesday, Sanders told supporters his name would remain on the ballot in the coming contest so he could accrue delegates to exert influence on the party platform.
