#NEW poll of the 2020 Democratic primary from The Economist and YouGov:

% support among likely voters (change vs last week)

Sanders: 24 (3)
Biden: 18 (0)
Warren: 16 (1)
Bloomberg: 12 (0)
Buttigieg: 11 (1)
Klobuchar: 7 (0)
Steyer: 2 (1)
Gabbard: 2 (-1)

Compared to last week, our poll shows a big dip in Bloomberg's viability, and a modest increase in the share of Democratic primary voters who say they'll consider voting for Amy Klobuchar.

Share of Democratic primary voters considering voting for each candidate (pooled over the last month):

Sanders: 45%
Biden: 45
Warren: 45
Buttigieg: 29
Bloomberg: 26
Klobuchar: 22
Steyer: 13
Gabbard: 6

Share of Democratic primary voters who would be disappointed if ___ candidate won the nomination:

Gabbard: 42%
Bloomberg: 28
Biden: 25
Sanders: 24
Steyer: 22
Buttigieg: 19
Warren: 17
Klobuchar: 17

The best case for Sanders's "electability" (and IMO it's pretty weak on balance) is that his supporters are the most likely to ditch the Dems if he loses.

% who say their Nov. vote "depends" on the nominee:

Sanders: 11%
Bloomberg: 7
Buttigieg: 5
Klobuchar: 5
Biden: 4
Warren: 3

Our data uncover that Sanders's recent gains have come mainly from consolidating support from white voters, while Biden's collapse is sourced primarily to Bloomberg's increasing fortunes among African Americans and Latinos.
