ABC/WP Poll: liberals, moderates and even cons more comfortable with Bernie than Hillary

[muriel_volestrangler]

I find this interesting - I've always thought the question with Bernie Sanders was whether moderates would vote for him in sufficient numbers for him to win in marginal states.

Being 'comfortable' rather than 'anxious' doesn't mean he'll get all their votes, of course; but it shows both the potential is there, and he starts from a good position.

The headline of the story is about what people expect to happen; that is people's opinion of how others will vote after a campaign. That's not such good news for Sanders; but that could be people's view of how the media is currently affecting others. I'm sure we've all had the feeling that we can understand a situation, but we're not sure if the general public can see past the hype.

Sure, now they see him as being more honest and trustworthy, and being less self aggrandizing, but give the Republicans time and .... sigh; Hang on while I find some shiny argument to hold up.

American voters say 60 - 36 percent that Clinton is not honest and trustworthy. Trump is not honest and trustworthy, voters say 59 - 35 percent. Sanders gets the best honesty grades among top candidates, 59 - 28 percent, with Carson at 53 - 34 percent, Rubio at 49 - 33 percent and Cruz at 43 - 39 percent.
