"Enthusiasm for Voting in 2016 Among Democratic Candidate Supporters"

The article doesn't say what specific question was asked but it seems from the title of the info graphic that the poll asked about enthusiasm for the voting process, not about the candidate. And it doesn't surprise me, given the large amount of Sanders' supporters who were (and worry about being) disenfranchised, that his numbers would be lower.

It's a kind of quiet, determined enthusiasm, that translates into making sure they get their butts to the voting booth.
