Americans Maintain a Positive View of Bernie Sanders

  • 53% view the Vermont senator favorably, 38% unfavorably
  • Nearly four in five Democrats have a positive view of Sanders


In Gallup's most recent poll, conducted Sept. 4-12, Sanders has a much more favorable image than either of the other major contenders in the 2016 presidential election -- Hillary Clinton (36%) and President Donald Trump (41%).

Since the election, Sanders has gone on to use his political pulpit to champion progressive causes, including calling on McDonald's and Amazon to raise their minimum wages to $15, pushing for procedural changes in the Democratic Party's nomination process, introducing a bill to break up large banks and continuing to push for "Medicare for all" healthcare legislation.

After Sanders' advocacy of progressive views on the campaign trail and in the two years since, Gallup recently found that Democrats now view socialism more favorably than they do capitalism. However, given Republicans' low positive ratings of socialism, Americans overall remain negative in their views of socialism.



Bottom Line

Bernie Sanders' positive image remains similar to what it was when his presidential campaign ended, and it's arguable that his message has taken on greater meaning for many Democrats during the Trump presidency as they search for leadership while out of power.

Polls are voter suppression and you can't show these guys anything Pada..it just has to happen like Gillum..he was in 4th place according to 'polls' the day of primary..should i have stayed home as the 'polls' wanted me to do?

what are they afraid of?

someone blew by me the other day weaving in and out of traffic and driving aggressively as he passed me it became clear why..two DE SANTIS bumper stickers on his car..just stuck on, unevenly. he's the only person i saw with those stickers since primary..angry aggressive alpha mine all mine male mentality.

i refuse to allow them this country..there will be time for sanders and i prefer to concentrate on midterms.

baby steps, Pada, baby steps.

Do you think Gillum's infusion of large donor money for media buys had anything to do with winning?

Are you ok with that?

Did he send your $5 back?

Bernie's an OK guy. He's not fantastic, he's not horrible, he's just a run-of-the-mill politician.

The worst thing about Bernie are his idiot fanboys. They remind me of the tea party idiots that are so extreme they'd rather see their party's ideas and philosophies fail because "their guy" wasn't chosen than to see them succeed with the person that was selected by popular vote.

They're the worst sort of arrogant, narcissistic pricks.

What has Sanders really done to earn any type of positive view from Americans? I haven't seen any actions backed up by the guy to be honest, just plenty of lip service.

He's not really better or worse than any other random politician. I have no particular problem with him in that regard. He's ok I guess. My problem is with his mouth-breathing acolytes who behave like a cult and vaunt him as some kind of sinless messiah. He's never actually accomplished anything positive though, aside from getting some US post offices renamed.

Patently false and complete bullshit.

That's an opinion and nothing more. Your premises, which I snipped for brevity do not address the argument that I made. The immediate response by the market also has very little to absolutely no value to the discussion. Shares always fluctuate but this is just hysteria. People will always buy shit. They're not boycotting Amazon.

Prime lost any appeal it had 2 years ago. There's no value at all in it anymore.

I guess you don't read. I love the access I get to reading material. I'm a traveler and don't have space for books in my duffel. Amazon prime is essential for me. The savings on my shopping cart will be easily over the yearly cost too when I return to the US. Out of 30 items, only two are not on prime.

Have fun with eBay. Most sellers won't take your bids without feedback now. Like we agreed, talk to me in a couple of months. This is all good for Amazon.

It is FACT.

The INSTANT that raise was announced, the stock nose dived by 200 dollars per share. It BARELY recovered a few dollars after he cut all benefits to all employees to make up the difference. You've shot your mouth off non-stop about how it cost them nothing, that the tax cuts paid for it, that they did it to improve their stock.

YOU ARE WRONG ON EVERY COUNT.

If you weren't, they wouldn't have cut all benefits, the stock wouldn't have taken a nose dive, it wouldn't still be down over 110 dollars since the pay raise as we speak.

Fluctuate? You call a stock losing 11% of its value amounting to roughly 30 billion dollars in one week a "fluctuation"? AND it's still falling today? You're an idiot.

I know you're an Amazon and Jeff Bezos fangirl, but for fucks sake stop making shit up.
