An NBC poll which debuted Sunday on "Meet the Press" revealed a characteristic about Bernie Sanders (I-VT) voters that wasn't exactly flattering.

It turns out, the less you pay attention to politics, the more likely you are to support the socialist option for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. WATCH Chuck Todd deliver the bad news to his panel.

WATCH: Poll shows the less you pay attention, the more likely you are to support Sanders #MTP #IfitsSunday

Bernie Sanders is not the "hot new kid anymore," @yamiche says 7:38 PM - May 26, 2019

"The less you are paying attention, the more likely you are a Bernie Sanders supporter," Todd says, pointing to a Monmouth poll taken recently showing that Sanders is losing definite ground to both former Vice President Joe Biden and a suddenly-much-stronger Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has jumped between 5 and 6 points in the polls since Biden entered the race.

The implication, of course, is that Sanders voters are "low information." Todd's panel seems to agree, pointing out that Warren has been working harder than Sanders at courting primary state voters, and that Warren built on Sanders' 2016 campaign, turning what was then mere policy positions into what is now definitive policy proposals.

Unfortunately, Sanders voters, who often consider themselves the most informed, progressive (and maybe smartest and most talented) of voters didn't take kindly to the poll's suggestion that they really just don't know what they're doing and haven't been paying attention to the political landscape.

On social media, they were downright insulted.

Some accused Todd and NBC of being in the bag for Joe Biden and beholden to their corporate overlords at Comcast. "It is obvious that Chuck Todd and others at NBC (owned by corporate Comcast) are Biden supporters. They are afraid of Bernie. They constantly try to spin things against Bernie," one commentator observed.
