Bernie Sanders has positive favorability ratings. He's the only leading candidate in 2016 with positive favorability ratings. If you care about losing to a Republican this year, then you should care about this fact.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump do not have positive favorability ratings.
59% of Americans distrust Donald Trump.
67% of Americans find Hillary Clinton "not honest and trustworthy."
Yes, more Americans trust Donald Trump than Hillary Clinton. Only Bernie Sanders can prevent a xenophobic billionaire from making decisions in the Oval Office. Negative favorability ratings, in addition to an ongoing FBI investigation, pave the way for a Trump presidency if Clinton is the nominee.
Not many people know that 67% of Americans find Hillary Clinton "not honest and trustworthy." Not many Democrats know that 30% of Democratic voters distrust Hillary Clinton, in addition to a startling 74% of Independent voters in America. Since 43% of Americans are politically independent, Trump has the edge over Clinton, especially since Trump donated money to Clinton's Senate campaigns and foundation.
Bernie Sanders is now less than 6 points from Clinton nationally. He's one stunning upset away from surpassing Clinton nationally, and then we have a whole new ballgame.

Bern the Feel
The most disliked, distrusted, unwelcome candidate in American history could well become our next POTUS on a 42% plurality.
I guess we don’t really need an election then, do we?
Sanders will lose if he doesn’t attack the email indictment scandal and the Clinton foundation scandal.
He’ll be bought off.
Reading articles like this, you just know that at some point there is going to be a violent reckoning in this country. CWII.
Muslims are slaughtering us and this tool can only think to call Trump xenophobic, then pin our hopes on a self proclaimed socialist.
The author isn’t American. Not one of us.
The same thing may be true in the election. Trustworthiness is not always the determining factor. I mean, I "trust" Bernie to do what he says as much as any candidate in the race, but I'd never vote for him anyway.
Biden has to be kicking himself for not stepping in - he looks like a Titan compared to these two midgets.
This is some serious wishful thinking.
Sanders is about to get crushed in South Carolina. He’s then going to go on to get crushed on Super Tuesday. The best polling he has on 3/1 is in Mass., and even there he’s 10+ points behind Clinton. The rest of them, Hillary’s odds of winning at FiveThirtyEight are 99%.
Add that to the huge deficit of superdelegates he has to overcome, and I suspect he’ll be dropping out on 3/2 and Hillary will be unopposed.
But the fact that most Americans don’t like Hillary is good. I’m not going to hold out hope for legal action against her, I simply think she will lose in November.
So, they trust a socialist? Great.
I just don’t see him beating Hillary in the South and Midwest.
But we’ll know soon enough.
BWAHAHAHA
Pretty funny since HRC has all the super delegates she needs. Bern is tilting at wind mills
As usual the library’s don’t even see what has been done to them
You have to wonder what this person is smoking.
The fix is in for Clinton...and it has been since day one. This nonsense about “Feeling the Bern” is just happy talk to to while away the hours.
Oh c’mon. When you really get to know him, Sanders’ unfavorability ratings jump to 90%......
Biden is swimming in the wads of cash that the Clintons paid him to stay out of the race. I’m guessing $10 million, but feel free to come up with your own guess.
“I don’t trust her as far as I could throw a Buick. But she’ll give me free sh*t, so it’s OK.”
Sander’s can’t be bought off... he’s not a Clinton ...
“So, they trust a socialist” of the communist variety? “Great.”
Can they just substitute Larry David instead of The Bern? He’s sooo much funnier and at least he works for a living. Plus he looks and sounds like Bernie— make it a SNL every day at the WH with Larry.
yes he can
