Socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders wants to let prisoners vote, including terrorists, murderers, rapists and child abusers.

But a new poll conducted by Business Insider reveals the vast majority of Americans think it’s a bad idea, though Democrats are far more likely to support the proposal than anyone else.

“I think that is absolutely the direction we should go,” Sanders said of enfranchising felons to cast a ballot during an event in Iowa earlier this month.

“In my state, what we do is separate. You’re paying a price, you committed a crime, you’re in jail. That’s bad,” he said. “But you’re still living in American society and you have a right to vote. I believe in that, yes, I do.”

Sanders clarified during a CNN town hall that he would extend that privilege to murderers, rapists, and even terrorists like the Boston Marathon Bombers.

The Business Insider poll reveals only about 15 percent of Americans agree with the move, while roughly 75 percent do not. About 10 percent said they “don’t know” what to think about it.

“Based on our poll, approximately 35 percent of voters are supportive of enfranchising currently incarcerated people in some capacity, but most of these people aren’t willing to go as far as Sanders,” according to the news site.

“Beyond those that believe current prisoners should vote, roughly 30 percent said currently incarcerated people should lose their right to vote, but be re-enfranchised when they’re released. Twenty-four percent of respondents said those convicted of violent felonies should permanently lose voting rights.”

When broken down by political party, just under half of likely Democrat primary voters, or 47 percent, support enfranchising prisoners to vote to some degree, while only 21 percent of likely Republican primary voters said the same.

The strong opposition to allowing criminals to cast ballots is undoubtedly one major reason why several Democrats running to take on Trump in 2020 don’t want to talk about the issue, which marks a stark divide between progressive policies and the actually will of the people heading to the polls next November.

California Senator Kamala Harris waffled during a recent CNN town hall when confronted about her position by anchor Don Lemon.

“I think we should have that conversation,” she said.

Days later in New Hampshire, Harris seemed to change her tune.

“Do I think that people who commit murder, people who are terrorist should be deprived of their rights? Yeah, I do,” she said. “I’m a prosecutor.”

Democrat New Jersey Senator Cory Booker was also elusive when questioned about his position in a recent PBS NewsHour interview.

Booker wouldn’t discuss whether he supports allowing currently incarcerated felons to vote, though he’s made it clear in the past that he believes voting rights should be restored once they out of prison.

“I just think that’s a frustrating debate that we seem to now be having,” Booker said before shifting focus to criminals who “should not be there in the first place.”

Booker said he’s more focused on “liberating black and brown people and low income people from prison.”

“People who don’t belong there are there,” he said, “and I’m going to stop that as president.”
