A few weeks ago I pointed out "the Democratic electorate is older, more moderate and less educated than you think". This article was written in response to what I felt what was a growing belief that Democrats are a bunch of woke millennials snapping fingers at some organic coffee shop.

The idea being that despite what you may have read:

A majority of Democrats are over the age of 50

At least 50% of Democrats call themselves moderate or conservative

A majority lack a college degree

These three demographic and ideological facts are why our poll has Biden so far ahead.

Age: Biden's up 30% to 19% over Sanders among Democrats under the age of 50. Among those age 50 and older, Biden holds an astounding 48% to 11% over Sanders. That is, his lead more than triples among older voters.

Ideology: Biden and Sanders are about even among those who call themselves "very liberal." Biden though gains support as you go from left to right in the party. He holds an over 30 point advantage among moderate and conservative Democrats.

Education: Biden is up just 11 points among Democrats with a college degree. That climbs to 32 points among those without a college degree. (Note too this occurs on a continuous scale. Biden is weakest among postgraduates and strongest among those who never even attending college, let alone graduated from it.)
