If you keep up with the best and brightest
among our political pundits, you've no

As Symone D. Sanders commented in                      
the Washington Post, September 12, 2017:

  "Last spring, a Harvard-Harris poll found Sanders
  to be the most popular active politician in the       [link]
  country. African Americans gave the senator the
  highest favorables at 73 percent-- vs. 68
  percent among Latinos, 62 percent among Asian
  Americans and 52 percent among white voters. It
  wasn't a fluke: This August, black voters again
  reported a 73 percent favorability rating for
  Sanders."

Tom Cahill, wrote about the Harvard
poll on April 19, 2017:                            [link]

  "According to the survey results, which were conducted
  among 2,027 registered voters between April 14 and April
  17, 2017, Sanders is actually more popular among women,
  African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans than
  white people and men."

  "The poll shows 55 percent of men and 52 percent of whites
  approve of Bernie Sanders. However, Sanders is approved by
  73 percent of African Americans, 68 percent of Hispanics,
  62 percent of Asian Americans, and 58 percent of women.
  And even though Sanders identifies as independent, 80
  percent of Democrats approve of him."

one might wonder what force keeps reviving them.
