Bernie Sanders has higher net favorables than any other candidate among Black adults. Part of that is driven by higher name recognition, but even if you adjust for that, Sanders remains at the top (with Harris, Klobuchar, & Booker right behind).
Bernie Sanders has higher net favorables than any other candidate among Hispanic adults.
Bernie Sanders has higher net favorables than any other candidate among adults who identify as something other than White, Black, or Hispanic.
Republicans are disproportionately White, which is why White favorables don't look great for the Democratic contenders. This is the only racial subgroup polled where Bernie doesn't lead the field.
Bernie has been the most popular sitting politician in the United States for a couple years now, & for good reason: he speaks with moral clarity & has an excellent record of fighting for social justice.
Popularity can change & the enemies of social justice will undoubtedly work hard against Bernie's candidacy. But we've got a great opportunity in 2020, if we work hard & keep getting the facts out, to elect someone who can partner with us to fundamentally shift American politics.
