Not surprising. Sanders voters, like Trump voters, want something different than insider Washington politics as usual. I would bet that nearly all Ross Perot voters are Trump voters.
I was a huge Perot supporter who will not be voting for Trump. I circulated petitions to get him on the ballot.
IMO, many of the Sanders and Trump voters never took a civics class. Had they done that, they'd be looking for another candidate.
Neither Sanders, Trump or Biden should be on the ballot. This is the first time in all my years of voting in every election from school board to POTUS I will not vote in that race.

I think I read that about 15% of Bernie supporters voted for Trump in 2016.
I can actually understand Sanders supporters/voters, even though I do not agree with their positions.
A vote for Biden is a vote for a corrupt Washington insider who will continue with "business as usual" in Washington.
Biden has already shown that he can be bought by foreign governments, which does not bode well for the nation. As with Clinton, such actions can have long lasting consequences for the nation. We will be paying for generations for the mistakes of NAFTA and China trade policies, as well as the diversion of military secrets to the Chinese.
You do understand that NAFTA negotiating started with Reagan and was completed by H. By the time Clinton was elected it was a done deal. Clinton could have listened to Perot and not signed it.
If there is a contest between which POTUS candidate can be bought, don't forget the Trump family.
Americans could resolve this trade issue today. If they really thought it was not fair, then don't buy products that are not made in the USA. IMO, American want cheap. They don't give a damn if the product they want was made by slaves or uses material that was mined or made by children. This trade issue is used by politicians as a wedge issue. The 1/3 of us who don't vote really don't care. And most voters just want cheap.
It was American companies agreeing to terms set by the countries they wanted to do business in who also gave away secrets.

It was about 12%....the real question is going to be Suburban Moms who traditionally lean GOP. They would offset the Bernie Bros defections. That is the calculation the DNC made...we will see if comes through. You can say one thing about Suburban Moms....they actually show up and vote.

There was a study out a few weeks ago that determined that Sanders would have to increase under-30 turnout by 130% compared to Obama in 2008 (taking into account population growth) just to offset the suburban voter losses that would occur if Sanders was the nominee over Biden. As we have seen, there is no indication that Bernie is capable of turning out those types of numbers. The under-30 crowd had the chance to carry Bernie to victory over Biden but failed to show up. There is no reason to suspect Bernie was going to get that group to turn out in November either.
If Bernie supporters cared about his agenda rather than simply taking part of a cult of personality, they would do everything they could to get Biden in office and retake the Senate because otherwise McConnell and/or Trump will block every proposal he makes.
President Trump's only 4 years behind Biden, and Biden has an overwhelming health advantage of not being morbidly obese from constant hamberder consumption.
