Americans like Bush's qualities, poll says

CNN) -- Two-thirds of Americans think President Bush has the right personal qualities for the presidency, yet nearly half or more think the Democratic Party would do a better job on major domestic issues, according to a new poll.

And this just in..... polls reveal that nearly 80 percent of Americans plan to have their wisdom teeth removed with a spoon, yet only half say they'll request any sort of anesthesia.

Msnbc was repeating their polls online so viewers could vote until one showed 13% or some number less than 20 oposed Bush but the viewer polls, which only allowed one vote per ip address, over 80% were in oposition since then you cant vote. The msnbc poll was also coincedentally 1003 against over 130,000 viewers.

Fortunately, voting does not require that people know how to spell.

Polls showed people liked Reagan personally but a majority disagreed with every single policy he supported.

What does it mean? Most people have no clue as to a politician's policies.

That would explain why you're supporting Dean.

and of course as we all know 50% of all polls are made up on the spot . makes sense to me tho (if indeed the polls are an accurate reflection of the public's opinion). i have a lot of personal respect for bush, but i don't care for him much as a politician. just because someone is a great person doesn't mean they are a good politician. in fact the oposite can sometimes be the fact.

The poll doesn't ask the question of whether they like Bush personally; it asks if they think President Bush has the right personal qualities for the presidency. Most say he does.

Big difference there.

i don't see a difference personally in relation to this poll. most american's are stupid and don't see a difference. besides...personal and politics shouldn't belong together IMO. professional qualities are far more important than personal qualities, and in fact i dare say personal qualities are completely irrelevant when it comes to politics

I will bring up my favorite little question about this: in a hypothetical situation you have 3 people running for president. the first is a drunkard and a heavy smoker, the second a drunkard as well and cheats on his wife, and the third is a vegitarian, doesn't smoke or drink, and is a devote catholic. who do you vote for?

obviously this is a trick so after a little thought i'll reveal tomorrow who these people were.

Most people will respect the president of the United States just for being the president. As soon there is a new president, most people forget who the last guy was.

When Bill Clinton finished his second term, Americans had to choose between Gore and Bush, who I believe have both been described as being boring, having no sense of humor or charisma; basically having no personality at all. So what personal qualities?
