Of course, Sanders supporters didn't get out to the polls very effectively to support their own guy, I don't know how many will go out in November without his involvement.

A February 18th poll by CBS News asked the question (of Democratic Primary Voters) whether they'd support each candidate in the general. The results were:

Would Support Clinton:
Enthusiastically: 48
With Reservations: 25
Only because Nominee: 14
No: 10
Don't know: 3

Would Support Sanders:
Enthusiastically: 44
With Reservations: 26
Only because Nominee: 17
No: 10
Don't know: 3
