:shrug: I'm voting for whomever gets on the democratic ticket, and I was already uncomfortable enough with both of them that I essentially abstained from DC's primary. (DC going heavily to Obama was a foregone conclusion, so I was one of the 300 folk who voted for someone not technically running.)
Statistically, the mere fact that someone voted in a Democratic primary means they're much more likely to vote for the Democratic nominee over the Republican, than someone who did not vote in either party's primary.
I'd thought it was the Tribune article but it must have been another one from this morning - mentions 30+ percent of each of the candidates supporters saying they wouldn't vote for the other in a general elecction. Hopefully that will have changed by the actual election.
And we don't know the preferences of those people
Aren't those the polls that ciphergoth is using in his graphs?
