Bernie Sanders Rides High Favorability To Crushing Every GOP Candidate In New Poll

[Uncle Joe]

According to Quinnipiac University, “Sanders has the highest favorability rating of any candidate and the highest scores for honesty and integrity, for caring about voters’ needs and problems and for sharing voters’ values. He ties Clinton and Trump on having strong leadership qualities and falls behind Clinton and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on having the right kind of experience to be president.”

Sanders leads Trump 48%-42%. He leads Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz by 49%-39% margins. Sen. Sanders leads Marco Rubio 47%-41%, and John Kasich 45%-41%. Hillary Clinton leads Trump 44%-43%. Ted Cruz leads Hillary Clinton 46%-43%. Rubio leads Clinton 48%-41%. Jeb Bush leads Hillary Clinton 44%-43%, and John Kasich leads Clinton 47%-39%.

Sen. Sanders is the most liked candidate in the entire 2016 field. Sanders has a 51% favorability rating and net (+15) favorability rating. John Kasich has a higher net favorability rating of (+17), but an overall lower favorability rating of 35%. Marco Rubio is the only other presidential candidate who is not in net negative territory. Rubio has (+2) net favorability rating with an overall favorability split of 39%-37%. Hillary Clinton is a net (-21) with an overall favorability rating of 38%. Donald Trump is a net (-20) with an overall favorability rating of 37%. Jeb Bush is a net (-11) with an overall favorability rating of 37%, and Ted Cruz is a net (-9) with an overall favorability rating of 36%.

Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, and Ted Cruz made it clear at Wednesday night’s CNN Republican town hall that they want to paint the Democratic Party as socialist by running against Bernie Sanders, but Republicans had better be careful about what they wish for because Bernie Sanders has the potential to be a very strong candidate in November.
