In a January interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Sanders said, “I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president, and that's why he's there.”
The Fox News poll is based on landline and cellphone interviews with 1,004 randomly chosen registered voters nationwide and was conducted under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) (formerly named Anderson Robbins Research) and Shaw & Company Research (R) from February 10-12, 2019. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points for all registered voters.
