The Monthly Harvard-Harris Poll was taken in August 2017:
This survey was conducted online within the United States between August 17-22, 2017 among 2,263 registered voters by The Harris Poll. The results reflect a nationally representative sample. Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income, employment, and education where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.

So Bernie is the most popular by 54 to 36%. For contrast. Liz Warren is 37% to 33%, which means almost a third have no opinion or are uncertain about her. Trump is underwater with 55% unfavorable and 41% favorable. Pence is favorable by 44% to 42%. Hillary Clinton is unfavorable 53% and favorable 42%, which is only slightly better than Trump.
This is not new. Check out this Huffpo graph showing Bernie’s favorable and unfavorable ratings since 2015: HuffPo: Bernie Sanders Favorable Rating. Last updated three months ago, it shows a 57% to 32.9% favorability rating.
So Bernie is the most popular politician in America, but often reviled by many on Daily Kos, including the blog owner. That shows me that this blog is a bit out of touch.
I’d rather have the voters than the bloggers.
Update I: Some pointed out that Barack Obama is not in the poll and contend that he is the most popular politician in America. I think President Obama’s office-running days are over, but be that as it may, President Obama may well be more popular than Bernie. But my point remains correct even if Bernie is the second most popular politician in America. 54% favorable to 36% unfavorable, and yet Bernie is reviled by many on Daily Kos. The comments below prove my point. The hate, anger, and promises not to vote for Bernie if Democrats nominate him show that this blog indeed is “a bit out of touch.”
