Bernie Sanders has the highest approval rating of any U.S. senator, 83% Vermonter's approve.

If Bernie Sanders loses the Democratic presidential primary, at least his seat in the Senate should be pretty safe. A survey of voters by Morning Consult out Tuesday reveals that the Vermont independent has the highest approval rating of any U.S. senator, snagging the support of 83 percent of his Vermont constituents. Only 13 percent disapprove.

Yes, this was from November, but its the most recent data I could find. I'm just throwing this out there for people who are talking about trying to take his Senate seat away from him, LOL. Go ahead, waste your time.
