Bernie Sanders’ nomination could drag down vulnerable House Democrats trying to hold onto their competitive districts, according to a new poll conducted for Mike Bloomberg's campaign that is circulating among members — providing fresh data for moderates warning about a wipeout if Sanders emerges to lead their ticket against President Donald Trump.
The poll of voters in more than 40 battleground House districts currently held by Democrats — conducted by Global Strategy Group for the Bloomberg campaign and obtained by POLITICO from two sources — found that Sanders is less popular than Trump and loses significant support when hit for holding socialist positions. Sanders is a self-described Democratic socialist, a distinction that his opponents are starting to draw more frequently in the days following the Vermont senator’s dominance in Nevada. His agenda of "Medicare for All," the "Green New Deal" and guaranteed tuition and debt-free public colleges has rankled more establishment members of the party.

Feel the Bern!
Go Bernie!
A Bloomberg poll is paid to say what he wants it to say.
LOL. Do you think they really care, Mike? Burn it all down. A Dem Party that supports a Wall Street billionaire deserves to lose!!
This guy is just getting the media to do his bidding
Well, Bloomy, the Democrat Party is Communist now.
If you keep going left, eventually you arrive there.
Food for thought.
Given how splintered politically we are as a country, I doubt it would have a huge impact on Congressional races. As it is, it remains to be seen if a re-elected Trump would have any coattails.
IMHO don’t listen to Bloomers. Observe his actions. He’s spending a billion dollars and it benefits Trump.
Oh, the humanity.....
The people saying Bernie can never beat Trump are the same ones who were saying Trump can never beat Hillary 4 yrs ago.
That is good/. Everythingis good except the orange man. Who is bad
We must help to make Sanders the Dem nominee. If the nomination is taken from him and he runs as an independent, that doesn’t help us down ballot. Make Sanders the Dem nominee and make the Dems pay the price.
Go Bernie!!
The best would be Bernie having the most delegates (but under 50%) on the first ballot at the convention, then them sinking him on the second ballot with the super delegates, then some Antifa-style rioting. I’m trying to cut my carb intake, but I’m calling popcorn doesn’t count!
Well, of course, it does. If Mini Mike didn’t get the result he paid for, it wouldn’t have been released to the public.
Nah, he’ll be the best thing ever!
Everyone, stop picking on Bernie. We need him to be the nominee!
Never stop your enemy from killing himself!
Quite a glorious pickle the dems find themselves in. Either they nominate a commie or the bernie bros burn down their party.
karma is beautiful!
I agree congressional Republicans running for reelection will benefit the most with Sanders at the top of the Dem ticket. They only need one campaign ad played endlessly with their Dem opponent’s face morphing into the face of Bernie Sanders. The first time in history Republicans would have a chance at supermajorities in Congress. Supermajority won’t last but it would be a fun 2 years of getting things done
Democrat contenders:
When your only tool is a club, everyone starts to look like Nancy Kerrigan.
