Bernie Sanders Favorability Ratings Skyrocketed During the Past Two Weeks

The latest candidate to gain on overall favorable ratings in our latest poll is a big surprise for both the establishment left and right.

Both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders saw upticks in their favorability ratings, according to the latest poll conducted by Google Consumer Surveys for IJ.com, but Clinton’s small gains has been overshadowed by a leap from Sanders.

Senator Sanders has seen a jump from 36% to 44% favorability rating among very likely voters polled:



The spike is, of course, likely attributed to Sanders’ performance during the first ever 2016 Democratic presidential debate.

For the 2012 elections: "According to New York Times' blogger and statistician Nate Silver, the Google Consumer Surveys' election polls were ranked second in terms of reliability and lack of bias in predicting election results." - Wikipedia.

Don't know how the chips will fall, but I think regardless just his candidacy is helping kill the socialist boogeyman that has been set up in the U.S. It's too bad someone decided less debates was better.

The MSM said so. How could his numbers be rising and money from small donors continue to roll in if Hillary crushed him in the debate?

only 4.

DWS,the establishment,and top 1% is getting what it wants.

After first debate it's clear my views are nolonger welcomed in democratic party.I can't see why anyone would say she won over
bernie and her support would go up and bernie's goes down.but,that's apparently what is happening.

The candidates may as well set up their own debates and forums and what-not, and get themselves out there in front of voters on their own.
