Bernie has 53-45 with whites and 70-24 with nonwhites.
Something seems off with that.
Bernie regularly does better in terms of favorability among nonwhites than whites.
A national poll of all voters doesn't mean much because Sanders' approval ratings are in the toilet with Republicans, who are nearly entirely white. Those figures look like the white/non-white split in approval for any generic Democrat.
Right. So why do people such as the above cast skepticism upon Bernie, singularly, for supposedly being bad with nonwhites?
He did worse with nonwhites in the Democratic primary than he did with whites in the Democratic primary back in 2016. Obviously, the general election would have been a different story, since Republicans vote in the general election.
All correct. But poll after poll show him with high favorability ratings among nonwhites. Clinton may have gotten more nonwhite voters overall, but that doesn't necessarily mean Bernie is
unfavorable among nonwhites, which is the narrative a lot of people push.
