The Democratic National Convention apparently did more than inspire people to buy tiny constitutions in honor of a slain Muslim soldier and copies of A Wrinkle in Time, the sci-fi novel Chelsea Clinton hyped in her big speech.

In contrast, Sanders slammed the campaign of Republican rival Donald Trump for dividing the nation.

Last week’s poll showed both candidates tied with 42 percent following the Republican National Convention.

“I think some people on the Democratic side who think that, you know, Trump is such a buffoon that it’s already won – but I think he’s a very risky opponent and I think he certainly has the ability to win as well”, he said.

CBS also said its latest survey shows that voters continue to hold unfavorable views of both Clinton and Trump, although both of their standings were somewhat improved after their respective conventions.

Thirty-one percent of voters have a positive opinion of Trump, which is about the same as before the Republican convention, according to CBS. Before the convention, two-thirds of Sanders supporters said they’d back Clinton. Previously, Clinton had a favorable rating of 31 percent, compared with 56 percent who viewed her unfavorably.
