Russia is believed to be working to boost Sanders in the Democratic primaries while also supporting President Donald Trump's re-election bid.
But 21 percent of Sanders' mentions were positive, compared to only 3 percent for Biden. Sixteen percent of Sanders' mentions were negative compared to 40 percent for the former vice president.
Russian media mentions of Trump, though, were far higher than any Democratic candidate. The president was mentioned 3,160 times, of which 17 percent were positive, 58 percent were neutral and 25 percent were negative. Sanders has rejected any help Russia might be giving his campaign. After acknowledging he had been briefed on Russian meddling last month, Sanders said,"I don't care, frankly, who Putin wants to be president... My message to Putin is clear: Stay out of American elections, and as president I will make sure that you do."
