I guess I'd attribute it to two things:

1. He is actually IN the race.

2. DUers actually listen to or read the candidate's remarks. Since Buttigieg's speeches read like a West Wing speech, they were bound to be popular.

Things this is not:

Support in any meaningful or substantive way.

Reflective of any vote anywhere.

Things this is:

Indicative of potential appeal. The more Mayor Pete can get out there, the better his chances.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
