The Least-Liked Democratic Candidate Since McGovern?

The Least-Liked Democratic Candidate Since McGovern?

Ain't it hard to stumble
And land in some funny lagoon?
Ain't it hard to stumble
And land in some muddy lagoon?
Especially when it's nine below zero
And three o'clock in the afternoon.
- Bob Dylan

The thermometer is back and baby it's cold outside:

What does make Kerry’s score noteworthy is that his was the lowest mean thermometer recorded for a Democratic nominee since McGovern. His score represents a drop of 5 percentage points from Gore’s mean score four years earlier. The simple interpretation here is straightforward and probably coincides with many preconceptions – John Kerry was the least liked Democratic candidate of the past 30 years.


Personally, I think McGovern's great.

Don't ask me nothin' about nothin',
I just might tell you the truth.
