Actually, is any candidate under 40% unfavorable? I suspect not. Maybe that's not horrible by political standards, but from a voter perspective I think it suggests a frustrated electorate.
Depending on the poll, Bernie is. Just under. And nobody else is even close. I suspect that, were it not for the dreaded "S-word", it would be higher.

The remaining candidates:
  • Sanders: Fav. 47.6%, Unfav. 42.3%, Spread 5.3%
  • Kasich: Fav. 42.1%, Unfav. 31.3$, Spread 10.8%
  • Clinton: Fav. 40.2%, Unfav. 54.2%, Spread 14%
  • Cruz: Fav. 32.4%, Unfav. 53.6%, Spread 21.2%
  • Trump:Fav. 29.4%, Unfav. 64.5%, Spread 35.1%
