Interesting chart from Vox on where the various candidates' supporters are on the issues
http://www.vox.com/2016/3/31/11338806/trump-sanders-populism-votersI know, people don't like Vox. Deal.
Clinton's supporters are the least angry with the government; Trump's are the most angry.
Perhaps surprisingly, Trump supporters are more likely to oppose any reduction in Social Security than even Sanders voters (though there's not much space among any of the supporters there).
"US Global Involvement Makes Things Worse" is a huge gap, along with "Economic System Favors the Powerful" (Sanders' supporters strongly agree with the latter, and somewhat agree with the former).
Clinton's supporters, interestingly, are more likely than Sanders' supporters to say the government should insure access to health care; whereas Sanders' supporters are more likely to say abortion should be legal in most or all cases. A majority of both Democratic candidates' supporters believe free trade is good for the US.
