In reply to the discussion: A grim warning Hillary supporters can’t ignore: The fundamentals of her campaign are looking weak [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)14. A selective reading of stats. Bernie's favorables are more concerning than Hillary's.
Bernie's unfavorable rating is rising fast as his name recognition is rising. His negatives are higher than Clinton's among Democrats and rising fast. This was before BLM. I suspect they are even higher now. Of course he will have very high unfavorables among Republicans as does Clinton.

Overall, 82 percent of Democrats have a favorable view of Clinton, while 15 percent are unfavorable (a scant 3 percent have no opinion). Sanders's favorable rating is 36 percent among Democrats, with even more offering no opinion of him. Nearly a quarter -- 23 percent -- give Sanders negative marks. That's notable because, despite being less well-known than Clinton, his negatives are eight percentage points higher than Clinton.
