College students love Bernie Sanders, according to poll

Bernie Sanders is the overwhelming favorite on college campuses, according to a poll released by Chegg Media Center on Tuesday.

The poll finds that 59 per cent of college students prefer Bernie Sanders over opponents in the Democratic field, including Hillary Clinton.

Clinton received support from 18 per cent of respondents, while Biden attracted 14 per cent of support.

The poll also found Bernie Sanders to have the highest favorability across the board with college students, with a 62 per cent favorability rating.

In contrast, Ben Carson, who received the highest favorability ratings among Republicans, showed a favorability rating of 28 per cent.

There’s no doubt now that Bernie Sanders is the clear favorite of students nationwide. The challenge now will be turning that support into enthusiasm and votes.
