The most common response when Democrats are asked whom they’d support in 2020? ‘I don’t know.’

… Earlier this week, The Washington Post and our polling partners at ABC News released data on a new poll of the Democratic primary field. Before reading poll respondents a list of candidates from which to choose, we asked a simpler question: Whom do you support? (Well, specifically: “If the 2020 Democratic primary or caucus in your state were being held today, for whom would you vote?”)

Biden led in the responses to that question, as he did overall — but the results were fascinating. …

More than a third of those to whom we posed this question said that they didn’t know or had no opinion on a specific candidate. About 4 in 10 respondents gave a response that wasn’t the name of a candidate. About 6 percent said either none of the candidates running or any of them. CONT.
