Poll: Sanders hits 50 percent support among college students

[Uncle Joe]

Fully half of U.S. college students nationally back Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) 2020 presidential bid, according to the latest poll from Chegg/College Pulse, more than double the support of his nearest rival.

"[Sanders] has increased his position, he's now at 50 percent of college students," Bonny Brown, Chegg's head of research, told Hill.TV Thursday, adding that, among the group, Sanders polls strongly in every demographic because he speaks to the issues that most concern them.

"There is one thing that really unites them, that really worries them, and that is climate change," Brown said. The second most important issue for college students, she added, is income inequality.

Sanders, a self-described Democratic Socialist, has detailed policy plans to combat both of these issues, as well as his signature "Medicare for All" health care plan.

7. Reading tea leaves again, eh?

6. Based on every trend....nope.

Probably they won't.

We see the same thing every dang election.

Candidate A Supporters: Oooh, Candidate A will bring in the youth vote!
The youth on election day: Vote? Nah. We do like that one dude. But we can't be bothered to actually, you know, vote for him.

Every. Dang. Time.

When the youth vote starts to even remotely compare to the boomer vote, give me a call. Until then? Nah.

5. I'd be a supporter as well

if I were a student and I heard "free college", wipe out student loan debt from his mouth.

8. Pandering works.

It's not a pejorative, either (said before the self-righteous become, well... even more self-righteous)

9. Now, if they'll only get out and vote, eh?

What percentage of the total electorate will they make up? 15%? Then they'll contribute 7.5% of the vote for Sanders. Not so impressive, is it?

10. NICE Uncle Joe! Bernie's campaign is catchin on like a steady rain that turns into a ragin river...

It's gonna be fun to watch Bernie take on billionaire Mike Bloomberg, once he replaces Joe Biden, now that his campaign is faltering... that matchup is tailor-made for Bernie's aggressive progressive agenda. The working class's fight for basic human rights and dignity will also contrast well!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!
