Obama's "likability" polls higher than Hillary and McCain, combined! (vote, Congress)

[magellan]

In a Fox 5/Washington Times/Rasmussen poll. I believe the Washington Times leans a bit farther right than the Post, so take this with a grain of salt.

Republicans like McCain most, but Obama not too far behind*-*-*The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

Moonie paper abides!

magellan there is no doubt Senator Obama is very well liked. If you look at his life history how could you not like him? People like winners.

You can like someone but that doesn't make them effective at the job of president folks. It takes more than likeability.

They generally ask these polling question as "likability, as it relates to the presidency". Not "likability for match.com".

And I was wondering when we'd get the first Bush = Obama post. I think a lot of people liked Hitler too at the time.

Do you mean that Obama equals hiltler. Pretty sad day when people go that far.

At the very least, at least we know Obama has a brain.

Thanks for this. Likeability is how I vote. Wasn't sure who to pull the lever for.

For Bush being such a dumbass, the democrats still can't figure out a way to stop his agenda. So if Bush is dumb, what does that make congress?
