WASHINGTON (AP) — A new poll finds Bernie Sanders has one clear advantage over his Democratic and Republican presidential rivals — a lot of people actually like him. A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds 48 percent of those surveyed have a favorable opinion of the Vermont senator, while 39 percent have an unfavorable opinion. That's the best net-positive rating in the field. Sanders also is doing better as Americans get to know him. His favorable rating is up from an earlier AP-GfK poll.

JACKSON, Miss.
