How dare they!?!
According to newly released polling data from YouGov, progressive heavyweights like Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders remain popular with Democrat-leaning voters—even as the nation shifts under the strong leadership of President Donald J. Trump.
The poll, conducted in late March, found that 58% of respondents had a favorable view of former President Obama, while 36% viewed him unfavorably. Despite his two terms in office, Obama’s legacy remains deeply polarizing, with a net favorability margin of just +22 points.
Bernie Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist from Vermont, also received support, with 50% viewing him favorably and 38% unfavorably—a net margin of +12. Sanders has continued pushing his far-left agenda nationwide, recently teaming up with controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for a tour labeled “Fighting Oligarchy”. The tour targets traditionally conservative states like Idaho and Montana, though locals remain skeptical of their radical message.
Dr. Ben Carson: A Steady Voice for Traditional American Values
In a separate YouGov survey focused on Republican figures, Dr. Ben Carson emerged as one of the most positively viewed leaders. Best known for his calm demeanor and clear principles, Carson was viewed favorably by 35% of respondents and unfavorably by 29%, giving him a +6-point net favorability.
Carson, who served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during Trump’s first term, continues to be a respected figure in conservative circles. In late 2023, he publicly endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential comeback, praising the 45th President’s unwavering commitment to constitutional freedoms.
“Donald Trump believes in our freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms,” Carson said. “We can fix our country, and we can make America great again. And President Donald J. Trump is the person to do that.”
Poll Highlights: A Nation Divided, But Conservative Values Remain Strong
While the mainstream media continues to prop up progressive figures, grassroots support for common-sense, pro-America leaders like Carson—and Trump himself—is not going anywhere.
These surveys offer more than just numbers—they reflect the growing contrast between socialist ideology and constitutional conservatism in today’s America. The left may cheer for Bernie and Obama, but millions of everyday Americans are standing firm with the leaders who actually put this country first.
