In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders remains one of Americas most popular politicians [View all]still_one
(92,061 posts)What it says is in the sampling that they did, at a particular moment in time, based on ONLY the names they provided, Sanders had a more favorable view among those who responded than the others who were in the list.
They added the percentage who had a strongly favorable view, plus those who had a somewhat favorable view which were counted all as favorable.
I would ask, what does "somewhat favorable" actually mean? I think it would mean different things to different people. In the same regard what does "somewhat unfavorable" mean?
Is this like being a little bit pregnant? I am not sure
Here is the breakdown adding both strongly favorable and somewhat favorable to the favorable results:
Bernie 61%
PP 57%
ACA 50%
Pence 47%
Trump 44%
Elizabeth Warren 39%
Paul Ryan 37%
Nancy Pelosi 33%
Sanctuary Cities 33%
WikiLeaks 31%
Chuck Schumer 26%
Mitch McConnel 26%
The Freedom Caucus 19%
As I said they included as favorable those who were both strongly favorable and somewhat favorable
If you only take the percent that were Strongly Favorable, the numbers are as follows:
Bernie 33%
PP 39%
ACA 26%
Pence 30%
Trump 30%
Elizabeth Warren 24%
Paul Ryan 13%
Nancy Pelosi 13%
Sanctuary cities 19%
WikiLeaks 11%
Chuck Schumer 11%
Mitch McConnell 35
The Freedom Caucus 6%
This shows Sanders, Pence, and Trump all have essentially the same strongly favorable ratings within the margin of error"
Bernie: 33%
Pence: 30%
Trump: 30%
I wonder what the results would be if Putin was included?
