Poll: Cheney Less Popular Than OJ
donga ^ | MARCH 07, 2006 | Seung-Ryun Kim

“How low is 18 percent?” This was a headline in the Washington Post on March 5. The 18 percent is the support rate of vice president Dick Cheney from a public opinion survey conducted by CBS.

The Washington Post included the support rates of notoriously famous people to prove how low 18% is.

Michael Jackson, who was alleged of sexually harassing an underage boy, and American football player O.J. Simpson, who caused a huge clamor for being suspected of murdering his wife in 1994, each maintained 25 percent and 29 percent favorable impression rates, respectively.

The paper pointed out that even vice president Spiro Agnew during the Nixon presidency who resigned due to tax evasion allegations still maintained a 45 percent support rate right until he resigned in 1973.

The only person less popular than Vice President Cheney is Paris Hilton, the female actress. Hilton, who is the heiress of the global hotel chain Hilton Group, and who has a “blonde party girl” image, only got a 15 percent approval rating.

The paper wrote, “A consolation factor is that 35 percent of those polled refused to answer the question,” and added, “these people may be the past supporters of the vice president, and could help to reverse his popularity rating.”

At least Cheney owned up to what he did.

Reminds me of the orange juice ads that were recently in the subway.

In huge letters: OJ FOUND GUILTY

And in smaller letters "Of being high in cholestoral, that is."

Is this the same polling team that asked 409 Democrats and 293 or so Republicans for their job approval rating of Pres. Bush?

How many of those polled even know who Cheney is?

Cheney is right where he should be...working mostly behind the scenes.

Why wouldn't a VP like Rice be able to do the same thing?

A SeeB.S. poll?!?!? Well, I know it has to be right and correct, unless Dan Blather was involved in adding up the numbers.

“How low is 18 percent?”

Well, given the fact that fully 90% of Americans couldn't name the Speaker of The House, not low at all.

My sarc about orange juice is a comment on the alleged poll.   The accursed poll was conducted by CBS, which is less popular than Cheney, OJ, and terrosism combined. Oh, yeah, credibility...it ain't here!

Cheney is not stepping down, but if he should have a heart attack or something, the last person Buch should pick for VP would be Rice.

It also proves that polls are often skewed, many people are stupid, and Bush can't run for re-election anyway.

The poll conductor neglects to mention that it has less credibility than anything.   MSM: Mostly Schizo Morons?

add that 35% who refused to particiapate (obviously they understood that the poll was rigged) and Cheney's rating is well over 50%. Don't believe the MSM lies. Nothing to worry about. The only poll that matters was taken last November, and the truth came out.

ABSOLUTLEY NOT! And anyone who falls for the liberal/MSM non-stop Cheney bashing is a complete idiot. The reason the hate Cheney is because he's so effective. And he could give a damn about what they think. That infuriates them the most.
