New York magazine: Sanders had best favorability ratio among all registered voters of any candidate

[Attorney in Texas]

link; excerpt:

The first post-Thanksgiving national poll, from Quinnipiac, ... shows him actually leading every named Republican candidate in general-election trial heats by margins equal to or greater than Clinton's (his leads over Carson and Cruz are literally twice as large as HRC's). Sanders also has the best favorability ratio — +13 — among all registered voters of any candidate in either party.
...
In the Quinnipiac survey, when asked if there is a candidate they definitely cannot support, only 7 percent of Democrats named Sanders, and the number only rose to 11 percent among self-identified moderate/conservative Democrats. By contrast, the "definitely cannot support" percentage among Republicans was 26 percent for Trump, 21 percent for Bush, and in double digits for seven other candidates.

1. I await pronouncements on which polls I should disregard.

I think I've discerned a pattern in the received "wisdom," but I appreciate all input.

2. Not at my house.

Nobody likes him at all here at all.

4. Must be a lonely place

here's a hug and a kiss on the cheek

6. I've never met anybody who likes Bernie Sanders in person.

Everybody I've talked to mistrusts him, thinks he's a phony, egotistical, extremely ideologically rigid. Stuff like that.

8. To each their own

We like him a whole lot around my neck of the woods

11. I guess we don't count, huh? nt

12. . . . stuff like that?

wow your friends are not very politically astute.

And they feel Hillary is genuine, serves others . . . stuff like that?

And you sit around talking about Bernies "rigidity" that makes him consistant over 40 years. . . and at the same time "phony"?

I have to assume you really have no friends and this is all imaginary.

3. I don't know of one person who doesn't love Sanders and dislike Clinton.

And I've seen nothing but Bernie stickers except one for Carson.

No Hillary stickers to be found in all my travels, so far.

I guess it's early.

5. And just think...

what kind of numbers Bernie would be posting if he had the full apparatus of the Clinton machine behind him.....

[Doctor_J]

7. well he's competing with trump, Clinton, and Ted Cruz.

Rabies would probably come in second if it was one of the choices
