Pew: Most Democrats want superdelegates to follow the results of the vote

From a Pew Research Center survey released two weeks ago:

  • 63% of Democratic primary voters think superdelegates should back the candidate who won the most support in primaries and caucuses.
  • Just 32% think superdelegates should use their own judgment to decide who they think is best.

The March 4 exit polls had similar numbers. Most Clinton voters -- 57% -- thought superdelegates should follow the results of primaries and caucuses.
