New polling released by Gallup Tuesday revealed the politician Americans feel most favorably towards.
While Pope Leo XIV and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy top the list of most likeable 'newsmakers' for 2025, a handful of American politicians were also evaluated.
And it's an 83-year-old two-time former presidential candidate and avowed Vermont socialist who comes out on top among pols.
Vermont's Independent Senator Bernie Sanders was the most liked, landing a 49 percent favorable rating, compared to just 38 percent who view him unfavorably. That's an 11-point advantage, the widest any American politician earned.
In second place was Democratic socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, even though her approval rating is underwater. She garnered a 34 percent favorable rating, compared to 38 percent who view her unfavorably.
