Morning Consult asks that question in their polls:

And I’d like more from her on Palestine, because what I’ve seen so far is awful.

“not me, us”

I think it would be an interesting way to advocate for ranked-choice voting to run polls in each primary state. Design the poll as if there were ranked choice. Then, if the results are different (demonstrating that there is vote-splitting at work and the front runner is not really the candidate most people want) you
