Biden supporters are only slightly more likely than Sanders supporters to say that they would back the other candidate over Trump.

7% of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ supporters say they’ll vote for President Trump in November vs. 12% estimated to have done so in 2016.

Democratic voters were 8 points more likely than Bernie Sanders backers to say they’d vote for Joe Biden in November.

Sen. Bernie Sanders acknowledged last week that he was losing the Democratic presidential race, but insisted that he will stay in to press his rival, former Vice President Joe Biden, on issues dear to the Vermont independent’s supporters, who are the party’s youngest and most liberal voters.

The March 11 remarks from Burlington signaled that Sanders aims to pull the front-runner leftward during the remainder of the nominating process, leaving the Biden campaign to decide how far it should go in securing support from Sanders die-hards without alienating the broader pool of general-election voters. A new Morning Consult poll tracking the race finds Sanders supporters are less likely than the average Democrat to say they will back Biden in an increasingly likely matchup against President Donald Trump in November — but compared to four years ago, there appears to be less danger that they’ll defect to the incumbent Republican.

The survey, conducted March 11-15, found 82 percent of the voters who are supporting Sanders in the Democratic primary said they would vote for Biden if the presidential election were held today, compared to 7 percent who said they would back Trump.

While the numbers have been relatively stable since the nominating contests began, the gap between Sanders supporters and Democratic voters has widened since polling conducted ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
