I’d put age just above ideology, though, Geoff. As Laura wrote, it seems to be a bit more influential in Sanders’s coalition, for example.

Age and education seem to be the biggest dividing points I’ve seen. So many other kinds of indicators (suburban vs. rural vs. urban, for example) ultimately break down into these main two factors.

I would say age and ideology — young voters remain firmly in Sanders’s camp whereas older voters are all about other options. It’s almost like the 30-44 age group is a swing vote on that question, at least in some states. And very liberal voters are far more likely to prefer Sanders or Warren, but the problem for those candidates is that very liberal voters aren’t that much of the Democratic electorate.
