I am not dividing people into Biden or Sanders camps and/or ascribing different levels of sophistication to anyone. I have simply been following exit polls released from all of the primaries, such as these:

A government plan for all instead of private insurance,
Support/Oppose:
VT: 73%/23%
ME: 69%/28%
TX: 63%/33%
MN: 62%/35%
CO: 57%/36%
CA: 57%/36%
NC: 55%/41%
OK: 53%/43%
TN: 52%/44%
AL: 51%/43%
VA: 52%/45%
MA: 50%/45%
