In later polls, the amount of undecided dropped to around 6-8%. At the same time, Pete rose to about 24-25%. So most must have gone to Klobuchar - although Write-ins, Bennet, Deval, minor candidates and withdrawn ones still got over 3% of the vote taken together. This is probably also the reason why Yang dropped out: He was polling at around 5% and only got 2.8%, showing very slow momentum. |
Since February 5th, only 4 out of 24 polls had Buttigieg at 24% or above. That's less than the number of polls showing Sanders at 30% or above... which in turn also exceed the number of polls with Sanders at 24% or 25%.
Just saying you can't cherry pick data to argue Sanders and Buttigieg performed exactly according to expectations. One of them came at the higher end of what polls had predicted, the other at the lower end.
Edit - although, of course, among the overperformers, Klobuchar exceeded them all.
