Clinton/Sanders Supporters Also Like The Other Candidate



The YouGov Poll shows that Democrats have a favorable opinion of both of their leading candidates -- 78% have a favorable opinion of Hillary Clinton and 63% have a favorable opinion of Bernie Sanders. But even more important is that the supporters of each also have a very favorable opinion of the other candidate.

About 60% of Clinton supporters also have a favorable opinion of Sanders. And about 71% of Sanders supporters also have a favorable opinion of Clinton.

Among the general public, about 41% have a favorable opinion of both Clinton and Sanders. That might not sound like much, but only one Republican could get up to 41% -- Ben Carson. All of the others had a smaller favorable rating.

The YouGov Poll was done between November 5th and 9th of a random national sample of 2,000 adults (including 751 Democrats).
