Majority of Americans Believe Sanders Is the Only Compassionate and Likable Candidate

The more Americans come to know Sanders, the more favorable their views grow.
By Kali Holloway / AlterNet April 13, 2016


If the election were a popularity contest—or even a likability competition—Bernie Sanders would have this thing in the bag. The senator from Vermont is, according to a recent poll from the Associated Press-Gfk, America’s most liked candidate, across party lines, of any competitor in the running. He’s also the only presidential contender most Americans view as “at least somewhat honest, compassionate [and] civil.”

The poll, conducted March 31-April 4, found that 48 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Sanders, while 39 percent view him unfavorably. Compare that with delegate leaders Trump and Clinton, whose unfavorable ratings blow Sanders out of the water. Fifty-five percent of Americans say they have unfavorable views of Clinton, while 40 percent say they have a favorable take.
