Bernie Sanders may be the least likely candidate to make it to the general election, but his approach to health care scores well in a new poll.

A Gallup poll released Monday found that a proposal to replace the Affordable Care Act with federally funded health care for all is favored by 58% of U.S. adults, while 37% are opposed. Sanders, a Vermont senator, has championed a single-payer, federally run health care system.

A little more than half (51%) support repealing the law, which Donald Trump has favored. Forty-five percent opposed that approach.

And 48% of those surveyed support retaining the Affordable Care Act, which 49% of Americans oppose. Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has touted the Affordable Care Act and has proposed strengthening it.

None of the candidates’ names were attached to their proposal during questioning.

The telephone poll of 1,549 U.S. adults was conducted May 6-8 with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
