"The 2000 election, as now, was for an open seat, pitting the sitting Vice President Al Gore against Texas Gov. George W. Bush. Gore's highest unfavorable was 42% before the November voting, rising to one reading of 52% unfavorable in December 2000 as the disputed popular vote count in Florida continued. Bush was more popular; his unfavorable rating in 2000 never rose above 41% before the election, although, like Gore's, it edged up during the recount.

When Bush was running for re-election in 2004, his highest unfavorable was 47%, while John Kerry's highest was 45%.

Clinton's unfavorable ratings are already higher than Bush's ever were while he was running for office.

What happens if both parties nominate unelectable candidates?

What happens when an unlikable force meets an unelectable object?

Two words: Michael Bloomberg.

I guess one of them wins.
