Kerry Poll Rank LOWER Than Dukakis, Putin, Martha Stewart...

[Placebo]

In last week's WASHINGTONPOSTWABCNEWS Poll, John F. Kerry was viewed favorably by 36 percent of registered voters, down 18 points over the past six months.

But just how low Kerry's standing has fallen cannot be appreciated fully without comparing his standing with that of other household names in GALLUP polls over the years, the POST's Dana Milbank reported on Tuesday.

Kerry finds himself in a dead heat with Martha Stewart and Joseph McCarthy, and behind Herbert Hoover -- although he narrowly beats O.J. Simpson.

Tony Blair: 76 (2003)

2. "New Rassmussen: Kerry inches closer 47.1% - 46.5%"

So this is hard to respond to.

4. I am not impressed

We need to look at the poll. Who are they sampling? how big was the sample ?
I do not think these polls have much legitamacy as predictors.

I think its just some ones opinion verging on propaganda.
