We formulate a necessary and sufficient condition for polynomials to be dense in a space of continuous functions on the real line, with respect to Bernstein’s weighted uniform norm. Equivalently, for a positive finite measure μ on the real line we give a criterion for density of polynomials in L p (μ).
