Poll: Cheney Less Popular Than OJ

MARCH 07, 2006 03:35

by Seung-Ryun Kim (srkim)

" How low is 18 percent? " This was a headline in the Washington Post on

March 5. The 18 percent is the support rate of vice president Dick

Cheney from a public opinion survey conducted by CBS.

The Washington Post included the support rates of notoriously famous

people to prove how low 18% is.

Michael Jackson, who was alleged of sexually harassing an underage

boy, and American football player O.J. Simpson, who caused a huge

clamor for being suspected of murdering his wife in 1994, each

maintained 25 percent and 29 percent favorable impression rates,

respectively.

The paper pointed out that even vice president Spiro Agnew during the

Nixon presidency who resigned due to tax evasion allegations still

maintained a 45 percent support rate right until he resigned in 1973.

The only person less popular than Vice President Cheney is Paris

Hilton, the female actress. Hilton, who is the heiress of the global

hotel chain Hilton Group, and who has a " blonde party girl " image,

only got a 15 percent approval rating.

The paper wrote, " A consolation factor is that 35 percent of those

polled refused to answer the question, " and added, " these people may

be the past supporters of the vice president, and could help to

reverse his popularity rating. "
