Democratic voters want Hillary Clinton to make Bernie Sanders her running mate, according to a new poll.
Thirty-six percent say they'd like the Vermont senator to be Clinton's VP, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Tuesday found.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) ranked second at 19 percent, followed by Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro at 10 percent.
Eight percent said Sen. Corey Booker (D-N.J.), while 2 percent chose former Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley. Twelve percent of Democrats prefer an unlisted candidate, while 13 percent are undecided.
Thirty-two percent of Democratic voters said its very important that their party fields a ticket consisting of only Democrats.
The poll of 1,000 likely voters was conducted via telephone interviews from May 11-12. It has a 3 percent margin of error.
Sanders is Clinton's only remaining challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination, although he's far behind in the race.
Clinton has 1,716 pledged delegates entering Tuesday, to Sanders's 1,433, according to the Associated Press.

no, they don’t want Sanders as Hillary’s VP
that’s BS!
they want Hilary OFF THE DAM7ED TICKET!
Sanders? half of them want him for sure! the others would prefer someone else, almost anybody else except Hillary
We do not know a single D that wants Hillary or Hillary/Sanders .. not a single one... most of them laugh outright at the suggestion.....This poll is BS!
best post of the day!
JFK himself would't even be allowed in the democrat party today!
Wow, if I needed another reason to not vote for Hitlery.
Her best bet would be Biteme, and, run on, he will not have to move.
Clinton/Sanders is about the only way she could actually defeat Trump.
But her real running mate is Huma.
Please go back and look at the 1972 Democratic Platform, most of what they had back then was very far left and in fact Bernie is for the most part running on that platform.

I concur, Pocahontas Warren will be her pick in an attempt to placate Red Bernies Commie Cadre of Comrades. I doubt all will fall for the trick.
The dems might have a more difficult situation. If they choose Sanders, they lose a lot of the black vote. If they don't choose Sanders, they lose a lot of the vote from those want a non-mainstream choice to clean out the DC garbage.
File that under “Never gonna happen”. Zero chance.
No, but Sauron doesn’t work under our Constitution either. Someone has to be her VP pick, right? It’s one of the few laws she probably feels bound by. No matter what, it will not be Sanders. The only reason the Dems ran him at all was to make Hillary’s insanity look sane by comparison. Turns out, a lot more idiots wanted socialism than the Dems thought.
I can picture Trump using their relationship and the incongruities as ammo - would be ironic if their "chosen one" had to rely on a socialist man, who despised most everything about her, to give her a chance.
That’s the geriatric ticket.
HilLIARy is stupid enough to do it... the ‘feel the bern’ morons are stupid enough to fall for it.
it would make for some interesting debates with Bernie and Gingrich
Gingrich is devastating one-on-one, especially with a moron
