If the poll images in my post above are representative, then Sanders could very well seize the advantage in any head-to-head race. While his numbers in a divided field don't have much legitimacy, the same conditions do make him a favorite to coast ahead while the other candidates are eliminated - at which point he should, in theory, begin carrying majorities.
If this theory is correct, he actually has more baseline support than he did in 2016.
Let's watch how it plays out.
