Trump Approval Rating Lowest Among Sanders Supporters Compared With Backers of Any Other 2020 Democrat: Poll
"I think you all better reevaluate all these takes about Bernie Bros supporting Trump."
President Donald Trump's approval rating is lower among supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders' than among backers of any other 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, according to a national Emerson poll released Tuesday.
Just 4% of Sanders supporters said they approve of the job Trump is doing as president, the survey found, compared to 9% of Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) supporters, 10% of billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg's supporters, and 11% of Pete Buttigieg's supporters.
Trump's approval rating was highest among supporters of Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), with 22% saying they approve of the president's performance.
"I think you all better reevaluate all these takes about Bernie Bros supporting Trump," tweeted progressive radio host Benjamin Dixon.
The poll showed Sanders leading the Democratic presidential primary race nationally with the support of 29% of likely Democratic voters. Former Vice President Joe Biden polled in second place with 22% support and Bloomberg came in third with 14%.
The survey also found that Sanders is the only 2020 Democratic presidential candidate leading in a hypothetical general election matchup against Trump.

Spencer Kimball, director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement that "Sanders continues to build upon his base and has solidified his position as the front-runner."
"Biden has lost support, especially among African-Americans, which now opens the door for Bloomberg, maybe Buttigieg, or even Klobuchar to win over the moderate voter and become the alternative to Sanders going into Super Tuesday," Kimball said.
We are at a crossroads
This country and this world are at a monumental crossroads. In a few short weeks, US voters will have an opportunity to beat back the forces of fascism and confront the billionaires who are rigging the economy, our media system, and our democracy, making it increasingly impossible for ordinary people to get by. We’re not just talking about the election. We’re talking about what must be done once these fascist elements are vanquished from power. We need a bolder set of solutions than what either major party has so far been willing to offer and a working-class movement ready to fight like hell for it. Trump didn't emerge from nowhere. The conditions that fueled MAGA authoritarianism were created by decades of radical neoliberal economic policies and a corrupt political system dominated by corporate interests. They slashed taxes on the super-rich, promising that the benefits would trickle down. They said giveaways to the corporate titans would make life more affordable for the rest of us. It was all bullshit. And when a bitter, betrayed populace searches for someone to blame, right-wing demagogues have little trouble finding scapegoats. People know when they're being lied to, but you won't hear any of this from the corporate media. Only independent journalism—powered and funded by people who believe in building a better world—can deliver truly trustworthy daily news. Our Fall Campaign is underway, and we need your help. To power our newsroom through the rest of the year, we need to raise $125,000 by midnight on October 31. So if you share our vision, please contribute whatever you can to sustain our work. |
