In U.S., Socialist Presidential Candidates Least Appealing

[TJ in Oregon]

Not terribly surprising. I don't think most people know what democratic socialism is, and some of those Democrats would come home to Sanders in the end. But not all of them would. Torie notes correctly that ideology is often overrated on here, but there are limits. Sanders would get more than 59% of the Democrats' vote but he would not win a general election barring catastrophe.
