The 25 Most Popular United States Senators. Guess Who Number 1 Is? My Friend and Yours ....



The Most Popular U.S. Senators

#1 of 25 Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Approval Rating: 80 Percent
Disapproval Rating: 17 Percent
No Opinion: 2 Percent

Sanders has found fans on the presidential trail and in his home state of Vermont, where his constituents give him an 80 percent approval rating. The 2016 Democratic presidential candidate was first elected to the Senate in 2006, and served in the House before then for 16 years.

That's been rebutted on DU so many times, it's hard to imagine that a DUer here daily posts it without knowing full well it's false.

For one thing, Bernie's politics align with the politics of most Vermonters, dear. Secondly, his constituent services are excellent; both responsive and effective. Thirdly, in a state where farming is revered, Bernie has made it his business to know the concerns of small farmers. Bernie was that popular before he ran.

Thank heavens there aren't many conservadems like you here. Please stay away.

I hope it will energize him to fight a corrupted primary and get to the truth.
