"The survey determined that a quarter of self-identified Republicans rated Mr. McCain most likable, but nearly as many — 23 percent — chose Mr. Obama as most likable. And among all adults surveyed, Mr. Obama was rated likable by more people than Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mr. McCain combined, underscoring the Illinois senator's appeal to voters across the political spectrum."

"But Mr. Obama brings more than just likability. Despite facing candidates with far more experience in government, he was rated smartest by 26 percent of those polled, more so than Mrs. Clinton, who won 22 percent, and Mr. McCain, who garnered 17 percent. Mr. Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, was fourth with 10 percent."

"Even among Democrats, Mr. Obama was rated smartest by nearly half — a full 10 percentage points more than Mrs. Clinton."

"Mr. Obama also was wildly popular among independents and third-party members, 41 percent of whom rated him most likable."

1. Precisely why if he is brought down,
we may miss an opportunity to win over the frustration out there in America.

2. Fascinating poll. I have always based my political decisions on "WDRL"
"Who do Republicans Like?"

4. That's why he's more electable
too bad Clinton supporters can't see what's best for the party. HRC will never be elected president, half the country hates her.
