    Put a Fork in Him, Kerry's Done

    ‘I think his goose is cooked’: Kerry dead last in poll

    By Dave Wedge
    Boston Herald Chief Enterprise Reporter

    Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - Updated: 01:02 AM EST

    John F. Kerry’s dead-last ranking in a poll of 2008 White House contenders has pundits saying he’s down for the count, but the beleaguered senator’s camp insists he’s still in the fight - and that’s no joke.


    The Quinnipiac University popularity rankings - based on interviews with 1,600 voters - come as Kerry struggles to recover from his “botched” attempt at humor when he made a reference to soldiers serving in Iraq.

    Kerry ranked 20th out of 20 politicians, lagging far behind a slew of Democrats expected to seek the party’s 2008 nomination.



    Tops among Democrats was Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois), followed by Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a former Connecticut Democrat turned independent; Kerry’s former running mate, ex-North Carolina Sen. John Edwards; New York Sen. Hillary Clinton; and former Vice President Al Gore.

    Kerry received a dismal average score of 39.6 out of a possible 100 in the poll.

    The veteran senator and former Democratic nominee was even outpaced by a Bay State novice on the presidential trail, lame duck Gov. Mitt Romney, who is expected to seek the Republican nomination. Romney was 13th on the favorability list.

    Obama scored second only to former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who has already announced he will explore a GOP presidential run.

    The poll is the latest bad news for Kerry, who has been on a steady decline since nearly pulling off the 2004 presidential election. He suffered yet another setback a few weeks ago when he infuriated military families by cracking that students should stay in school or risk getting “stuck in Iraq.” He later apologized, saying the intended target of his ill-fated zinger was President Bush, not the troops.

    “I think his goose is cooked,” John Norton, a retired political science professor at Pennsylvania’s Lebanon Valley College, said of Kerry. “He wasn’t in a strong place to begin with and then his reaction to his most recent gaffe nailed the coffin.”

    “He goofed up,” agreed Harvard Kennedy School of Government professor Elaine Kamarck. “That’s still fresh in people’s minds.”

    But Kerry aide Amy Brundage downplayed the survey findings, saying, “Polls taken two years before an election aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.”

    “He’ll make his decisions about the future based on the issues, not on meaningless polls,” Brundage said.

    As for Romney, Norton expects the Bay State governor’s “clean” image to spur momentum as he gains more national exposure.

    “I wouldn’t be surprised if he moved up in these type of rankings,” Norton said. “He’s kind of well-positioned to be more of a front-runner - in the top five.”

    I'm not Judas IsKerryot's biggest fan, but any poll that has Lieberman rated as "popular" among Democrats is obviously BULLSHIT. And I don't know a single Democrat that would vote for Hillary either. At least not in the primary or caucus.

        November 27, 2006 - More Americans Think Well Of Speaker Pelosi, Quinnipiac University National Thermometer Finds; President Is Low On List, But Kerry Is Last



        House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi, who ranked last in Quinnipiac University's quarterly reading of voter sentiment about national leaders September 5, has dramatically improved her standing. But the new Democratic leader of the Senate, Harry Reid, still remains at the bottom in a survey released today.


        Republican presidential contenders, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Ariz. Sen. John McCain, and potential Democratic aspirant Sen. Barack Obama continue to get the highest ratings in the latest "thermometer reading" of national leaders by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts ranked last, while President George W. Bush was 15th out of 20.


        The survey, taken the week after the Democrats won back Congress, asks voters to rate the warmth of their feelings for leaders on a scale of 0 - 100. Speaker-elect Pelosi's rating has jumped from a 34.7 mean temperature in September to 46.7, slightly behind New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's 49.


        "In September, most Americans did not know enough about U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and those who did didn't like what they knew. Now, perhaps because everyone likes a winner, she has increased her standing with the American people. And only about a third of Americans say they don't know enough about her to have an opinion," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.


        "Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the incoming Senate Majority Leader, moved up slightly over the same period, from 37.9 to 41.2 and ranked 19th out of 20," Brown added.


        The mean scores for each politician with the percentage not knowing enough about the individual to rate him or her:




        1) Rudolph Giuliani - 64.2. (9)


        2) Sen. Barack Obama 58.8 (41)


        3) Sen. John McCain 57.7 (12)


        4) Condoleezza Rice - 56.1 (7)


        5) Bill Clinton - 55.8 (1)


        6) Sen. Joseph Lieberman - 52.7 (16)


        7) NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg - 51.1 (44)


        8) John Edwards - 49.9 (20)


        9) Sen. Hillary Clinton - 49 (1)


        10) N.M. Gov. Bill Richardson - 47.7 (65)


        11) Sen. Joseph Biden 47 (52)


        12) Nancy Pelosi 46.9 (34)


        13) Gov. Mitt Romney - 45.9 (64)


        14) Former VP Al Gore - 44.9 (3)


        15) President George Bush - 43.8 (1)


        16) Sen. Evan Bayh - 43.3 (75)


        17) Newt Gingrich - 42 (15)


        18) Sen. Bill Frist - 41.5 (53)


        19) Sen. Harry Reid - 41.2 (61)


        20) Sen. John Kerry - 39.6 (5)
