NOTABLE QUOTES OF THE DAY

“The latest Morning Consult polling, conducted Feb. 23-27 among 13,428 Democratic primary voters, found Buttigieg’s supporters almost equally inclined to back Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), former Vice President Joe Biden and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Twenty-one percent of Buttigieg’s first-choice backers said their second choice was Sanders, while 19 percent said Biden and Warren and 17 percent said Bloomberg. Dividing his support, that would amount to a 2-percentage-point boost for all four candidates in the national polling, which has a 1-point margin of error.”

“Pete Buttigieg’s decision to drop out of the race two days before Super Tuesday has hurt Sen. Bernie Sanders in our primary forecast. Sanders’s chances of winning a majority of pledged delegates fell from 28 percent to 23 percent. And the likelihood that no candidate gets a majority rose slightly from 59 to 64 percent. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s majority chances were unchanged.”
