Bernie Sanders Has More Support Than Every 2016 Republican Candidate In New Poll

According to the latest polling, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) presidential campaign has more support than the campaign of media favorites Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and every other Republican candidate.

The latest Quinnipiac Poll revealed that five Republicans are tied at the top of the Republican field. Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Ben Carson, and Mike Huckabee each were at 10%.

Do you know who is more popular than even the most popular 2016 Republicans? Sen. Bernie Sanders. In the same poll, Sanders was supported by 15% of Democrats for their party’s nomination. Sen. Sanders trailed Hillary Clinton 57%-15%, but his fifteen percent made him the second most popular presidential candidate in the country.

The media treats Republicans like Carly Fiorina (2%), Ted Cruz (6%), and Rand Paul (7%) like they are serious candidates, but Bernie Sanders has two to seven times more support than these three Republicans. Why does the media treat Sen. Sanders like he is token opposition to former Sec. of State Clinton instead of as the legitimately popular stand alone figure that he is?

1. Clearly, corporate media wants Bernie to lose.

10. So true

Media wants Bernie to lose. You can tell by who us fringe candidate..Bernie is so mainstream in ideas. The Rebublicans, I say all if them are fringe and not in step with Americans

11. Bernie's going to need a massive support base to be able to bypass the media

They will need to use creative ideas to bypass the media. At some point, the media will have to treat him seriously.

12. It couldn't be more obvious.

13. Here's a refreshing change from perhaps a surprising writer.

It's not exactly a swoon piece, but it doesn't treat Bernie as a 22 year old broke radical who somehow aged 50 years overnight and decided to run for the Official Resident Cranky Hippie of Burlington.

14. That's a good one.

2. The polls are trailing

Popular opinion is way ahead of the polls, based on social media. Even MSNBC is starting to treat Bernie with a little respect. Go Bernie!

3. That's great to know, thanks!

[merrily]

15. Good to know. A couple more posts here and I'm going to social media.

As soon as people hear about Bernie, they get energized and excited.

6. Deleted before I could respond.

Damn it. Deleted before I could get one in, It was a good one, too.

16. Not to worry. You'll probably have many other opportunities to use it.

But, if you want to pretend you posted it before the delete, I won't give you up.

If I had been eligible to vote in an american presidential Election - Bernie Sanders is the one I had voted for - as he sounds like a great man - and a man who could do great things in USA - even if he had to fight the GOP nail and foot every day.... What he state he would do, if elected president - is just sensible politic - and also in the footprints of FDR and other progressive Presidents before him...

9. I am with you. And i CAN vote In America. And I will.

Often.

8. Perhaps CNN should cover Bernie Sanders and ignore Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and the other Koch addicts

!!

[merrily]

17. Yes, it should. Even at this early stage, Bernie is outpolling every Republican they've

been covering so much, despite being ignored or mocked by most of the crappy mass media.

18. The bias in our Corporate Media is simply stunning!
