Oddly enough, his experience as a trial lawyer comes out overall as being a stregth in the USA today polls but his lack of experience in office is considered an overall weakness.

In the Annenberg poll, a full fifty percent off those polls still feel they do not have enough data to really decide on favorability an unfavorability where Edwards and Cheney are involved.

1. 3% never heard of Dick Cheney? They can't be voters.

2. Why not

There are e number of voters who rarely vote. and then only in presidential elections and then only for the president and then stictly by party. They come out of their houses ervery years. only vote on the presidential portion of the ballot, and thne vote for Democrat or Republican without even looking at the name of who is running.

3. Some people

are just terribly ignorant.

These people might see a headline every now and then on their home page, but that's about it. Some of them do vote though, and sometimes for the strangest things. All that matters is getting those people on our side.

Cheney's unfavorable numbers are pretty high and can definetely pushed up. He has a lot of liabilities.

At the same time, Edwards's favorability rating can be raised, by just having him travel and speak. He's a hell of a speaker and a great campaigner. That's where his strengths lie.
