All of the polls factually show what you are promoting is a smear of Bernie Sanders.
What the above 17 polls collectively show since the 2016 election ended, contrary to the smear you have been pushing, is that African Americans support Bernie more than any other race group. White Americans are where Bernie's support is weakest. But a fictitious smear to drive a wedge into Bernie's support by African Americans might help another candidate, right? That's what you seem to be up to here. There was not one single post 2016 election poll to support your smear.
Asking for his big legislative bills is almost as insincere because the question has already been answered above in this thread.
538.com looked at it this week. Their conclusion:
Black Voters Like Bernie Sanders Just Fine They Just Might Like Other Candidates More

In the above polls, I would say without looking closely that African Americans probably like Joe Biden more currently and have pretty consistently - a gut feel - I did not study it. To a significant extent, Joe is riding on the goodwill earned as VP for Obama. Nothing wrong with that. He was a great VP and I have always liked him. I mention it because prior to that, Joe wasn't doing so hot in the polls - he'd tried to run for President three times before and did not get that close. So things can change. When you look at the second choice polls, Bernie does well - especially, again, with African Americans.
Both of Joe & Bernie have to be looking over their shoulder at Kamala, Cory, Elizabeth, Pete, Beto et al.
We have a long way to go. A lot can happen.
Contrary to your smear, African American support is not a big problem for Bernie right now.
Bernie has to come clean on his tax returns soon or he's probably toast. With the Democrats going after Trump's tax returns, Bernie is not going to get away with a pass.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
