Study reveals Trump’s supporters want Bernie Sanders’ America — but only for themselves
- 8 years ago
The insurgent presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have been compared, with varying degrees of accuracy, by baffled observers from both political parties.
Trump, however, was ranked right in the middle - at 3.6, or slightly above the 3.0 designation for moderates - while Marco Rubio was slightly more conservative, at 3.8, and Ben Carson came in at 3.9 and Ted Cruz at 4.1.
The Texas senator held a slight lead over GOP voters who strongly disagreed that immigrants threaten U.S. customs and values, but all other voters who viewed migrants with suspicion supported Trump - and the support grew stronger with the certainty of their concerns.
Likely GOP voters tended to support Trump regardless of whether they agreed women who complain about harassment cause more problems than they solve - although their support grew strongest among voters who strongly agreed with that sentiment.
