“A shocking new poll from ABC News/Washington Post reveals a full 20 percent of American adults surveyed believe Bernie Sanders is “too conservative.” “The poll of 1,066 adults conducted Feb. 14-17 by Langer Research Associates finds a sizeable amount of Americans have a palate for Sanders’s progressivism. “Twenty percent of respondents who identified as “Leaned Democrats” say they would be more likely to vote for Sanders as a “democratic socialist.” Only 8 percent said they would be less likely. 67 percent didn’t care.”
“They have less tolerance for just a “socialist.” Twelve percent say they would be more likely to vote for a “socialist,” while 13 percent said they would be less likely. (American Mirror) “Among all adults, “about a third … call Sanders ‘too liberal,’ compared with about a quarter who say the same of Biden or Bloomberg. That said, 20 percent call Sanders too conservative,” the poll finds. “Other key findings: Joe Biden’s support has crashed. In mid-January, he enjoyed front-runner status and the support of 28 percent of Democrats. Now it’s just 17 percent. Bloomberg comes in third with 14 percent. “The poll finds voters believe Sanders has the “best chance” to defeat President Trump. “But the same poll shows Joe Biden beating Trump by the widest margin: 52 percent to 45 percent. Sanders would defeat Trump 51 percent to 45 percent. “The survey also finds most Democrats’ motivation is to defeat Trump. Fifty-eight percent of respondents say they want a candidate “who can defeat Trump,” while 38 percent want one who “agrees with me.”
‘Ahead of Super Tuesday, most say Sanders would be best for U.S.- Canada relationship’. “February 21, 2020 – Less than two weeks ahead of Super Tuesday, the Democratic Primary race is growing tighter as people in the United States, and indeed around the world, wait to see who will emerge as the candidate to take on President Donald Trump in the coming election.
“A new study from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds that if Canadians had their pick, they would lean toward Bernie Sanders as the candidate they prefer to lead the Democrats in November, both as the best chance to beat Trump, and the best option for the improvement of Canada-U.S. relations. “By a two-to-one margin, Canadians say that Sanders would be the best candidate to improve relations between the two countries, with former Vice President Joe Biden coming in second. “Ultimately, however, Canadians appear to have little expectation of a change in White House occupancy. While President Trump remains unpopular in Canada – 70 per cent hold a negative view of his administration.”Meanwhile, the Democrats are still wasting time and money on a drive to impeach the president while Bolshevik Bernie Sanders can count on Russia’s help in the 2020 Election.
