"He’s clearly the #1 choice of a significant minority of democrats. But is he the #2 choice of a sufficient number of others? Or is he only winning a plurality

"He’s clearly the #1 choice of a significant minority of democrats. But is he the #2 choice of a sufficient number of others? Or is he only winning a plurality because the anti-Sanders candidates can’t pick an alternative?"
He's also winning handily in national head-to-head polls vs. others in the primary, which seem a lot more relevant to me than Iowa caucus realignment numbers: https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2020/02/18/democrat-head-to-head-poll https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20...
"Matchups against Trump this far out are not helpful."
Ah, so we can base all kinds of conclusions on a poll asking "would you vote for a Democratic socialist?", but one taken at the same time asking "would you vote for Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump?" is not helpful? :-/
