Bernie Sanders 2016 ad ‘happiest,’ ‘most hopeful,’ study says

“By far, Mr. Sanders’s ‘America’ was the ad from 2016 that made … raters the happiest and the most hopeful,” UCLA political science professor Lynn Vavreck wrote Friday in the New York Times. She said that almost 80 percent of viewers claimed the ad “made them at least a little bit happy and hopeful in the week it debuted — including over half of the Republicans who saw it.”
