While Al Gore has returned to the public eye with his global warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth” and is being mentioned as a candidate for president in 2008, the public's basic views of him have changed little from four years ago, a Gallup poll reveals.
The June 23-25 poll found that 48 percent of Americans had a favorable opinion of the former vice president, and 45 percent had an unfavorable opinion.
These results were about the same as from the last four times Gallup asked Americans to rate Gore, in 2002 and 2003, suggesting that "there are no signs that Gore's high-visibility focus on global warming has produced changes in his standing among the American public,” Gallup reports.
From 1992 to 2001, Gore’s average favorable rating was 56 percent, topping out at 64 percent following the 2000 Democratic convention.
More than half of Americans still rated Gore favorably when he left the vice presidency in 2001.
But by the spring of 2002, his favorable rating had dropped to 48 percent, and it has remained steady at that level ever since.
In the latest poll, only 19 percent of Republican respondents rated Gore favorably, compared with 69 percent of Democrats, "which may explain why he continues to rank high in the minds of Democrats looking ahead to the 2008 presidential elections,” according to Gallup.
Among independents, 47 percent rated him favorably and 46 percent unfavorably.
Among various age groups, Gore’s gets the highest rating from 18- to 34-year-olds, 54 percent, while 52 percent of 35- to 49-year-olds rate Gore favorably.
His favorable rating drops to 44 percent among 50- to 64-year-olds and to only 38 percent among those aged 65 and older.
What is curious to me is that somebody, somewhere, thought that resurrecting al-Gore as a candidate was a good idea, and that that somebody is walking the streets without a minder.
LOL! I love it!!!
>>Americans Not Warming to Al Gore<<
Nomination: Newsmax for best headline of the day.
Big Al and his traveling 'hot air' show, is about to find out what global cooling is like.
Al Gore's really starting to happen, people just don't know it yet.
Yes, good ole crazy Al, the Clinton stooge and understudy, will never give up bashing America, like the rest of the loons of the left. He and Dean should do a duet, just before they check into a mental hospital...
And he should never, never raise his arms up and show his pits again! :-)
Maybe thats because he is such an a$$hole....ya think?
PLEEEEEEEZE...no photos!!!!
Hmmm... I'm a registered independent (in Arizona, that means no party designated). I was not contacted for this poll. I would not vote for Gore as a dog catcher.
It would be cruelty to dogs to do so!
Love those polls.
He's reached size 24 neck at least.
He's super serious about it.
Look at the dem bench... Gore's awful, but he's better than Hillary. Who do they have?
I hope you're right but I still say that he "could" be a force to be dealt with.
He has a gazillion dollars from his Google stock. He has the sympathy vote from the 2000 election when he received the most votes and still did not get to move into the White House.
I'd not count him out just yet.
That's a little harsh, we all know that Manbearpig is real!!
