Sanders' Favorability Declines Amid Clash With Warren

Morning Consult

Democratic primary voters’ perception of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) fell amid his clash with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) over whether he said a woman cannot win the presidency, but it has not trickled down to their supporters.

The latest Morning Consult polling tracking the Democratic primary found Sanders’ net favorability among likely primary voters — the share with favorable views minus those with unfavorable views — fell 6 points since before his clash with Warren, but that didn’t affect his overall first-choice support outside the survey’s margin of error. Seventy-three percent of primary voters view Sanders favorably, down 3 points from the Jan. 7-13 survey, while 20 percent view him unfavorably, up 3 points in the Jan. 15-19 polling.

The data tracking the first-choice support has a margin of error of 1 percentage point, while the latest favorability data has a margin of error of 2 points.

The negative drift in views put Sanders within the margin of error of Joe Biden’s favorability rating, though the former vice president still leads him in first-choice support, 29 percent to 24 percent.

Didn't see that coming...

1. He should get rid of Nina Turner and Sirota and reign in quite a few of the rest of his

"over-the-top" 'advisors,'-- and probably pray that Ceng Uygur finds someone else to support.

I don't tend to (initially) judge candidates by those who surround them but at some point...

2. Absolutely... when one surrounds themselves with negative people it rubs off. Not only on

Sanders, but voters as well
