After BLM interrupted Sanders at his Seattle rally last summer, I wasn't sure whether that was an indication BLM was against him or if they were just vetting him to see if he was deserving of their votes.  But some black Bernie supporters said they were supporting him because of that fiasco based on the way Sanders reacted and listened to them, and then doubled down on their support after Clinton dismissed a BLM protestor during one of her speeches.

Note that this poll specifically asks about the protestors in BLM, not the leadership or regional chapters.  Seeing as most of these protestors are young millennials, I'm going to say he was probably the favorite among them in most states.

Even among young blacks, Sanders lost. (though not by nearly as much as he did with blacks as a whole)

I'd say 60-40 Clinton. Closer than African Americans on average.

They tend to be younger and are more on the activist side. Considering he won young black voters and very liberal voters, I think Sanders won them by a pretty comfortable margin, I'd say 60-40.

The age divide probably persisted.
