I was meaning to ask what your source for this was, but forgot. 

I was shown a source this morning that had exit polls for 4 Super Tuesday states (3 of which were won by Biden) showing majority support (either strong or somewhat supportive) of Medicare for all.

The question was framed with the word replace rather than remove, as we discussed above.

Question: Would you support replacing private insurance with a single government plan for everyone, sometimes called a "Medicare for all" plan?

It's odd that over 50% of respondents were in favor of Medicare for all, yet it seems they mostly voted for Biden.

The data would suggest that those people voted against their preferred choice for fear of electability of Sanders.
