Hate the other party is within the margin of error. Pretty sure most Sanders supporters dislike the other party, not sure I "hate" them, but dislike their principles and feel they're misguided.

Believe they're wrong, dumb, fearful, gullible, all of these, but hate? That would be undemocratic. Literally. To hate them would be to wish them harm, and we just wish them perpetual electoral defeat in fair-and-square elections.

"Results show that those candidates who represent the “extreme” branches of their parties—including Sanders, Carson, Trump and Cruz—tend to attract supporters with more negative evaluations of their own party."

There is no real difference there, it is a classic well within the margin of error result, hence that part of the title is misleading.

No surprise about feelings about the Democratic Party though. Obama himself ha said that by the standards of a decade or two past many of his policies would be deemed worthy of moderate or even mainstream Republican. Bernie captures the support of most of those who feel the Democratic Party has strayed too far from its roots

berners tend to hate others less overall...that is actually a GOOD quality, hating others less
