On Election Day, The Washington Post and Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University polled voters in 69 districts expected to be competitive to see what they think, how they feel and — ultimately — how they voted.
The 1,536 battleground voters who supported a Democrat in a congressional election were presented with 10 potential candidates for the next presidential race and asked:
“Which of the following candidates would you like to see win the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination?”
Here’s how they responded.
