Sanders carried 63 percent of his own 2016 supporters — but they didn’t turn out in as large numbers as last time. In contrast, Klobuchar and Buttigieg did well both among 2016 Clinton supporters and among those who supported neither candidate four years ago. Also notable: Gabbard’s (relatively) strong finish among those who supported neither Clinton nor Sanders in 2016.
