The political scientists over at Yahoo! have cracked the most important issue of the presidential campaign...who is more likable!
Never mind the rhetoric about voting with your heart or wallet, vote with your friendship bracelet.
Rudy Giuliani gets the clear nod on the GOP side, but Barack Obama slightly beats out Democratic contenders Hilary Clinton and John Edwards. In a sheer popularity contest pitting the most likable Democrat vs. the best-liked Republican - which makes two years worth of stumping and campaign chasing irrelevant, Obama would beat Giuliani, 54% to 46%.
Naturally, Yahoo! ran their story with the least important info topside, as voters put likability well down the list of important qualities for candidates. Like being honest, ethical, decisive and strong.
Until this is a two horse race, there's going to be a lot of useless data coming to the surface. Sure, there's some meat in there, but there's a whole lot of fat.
