Cheney's favorable rating falls to 13%, has the lowest approval rating of any recent VP

Cheney Least Popular Veep in History

Vice President Dick Cheney�s popularity has hit an all-time low, according to a new New York Times/CBS News poll, "suggesting that he has replaced Dan Quayle as the most unpopular vice president in recent history."

"Two polls taken in May and June reveal an erosion of Mr. Cheney�s base of support -- seen in both his job approval rating and his favorability. Just 28% of those polled in June approve of the job Mr. Cheney is doing, while 59% disapprove -- a reading similar to that of President Bush."

Cheney�s favorability among Americans has also suffered, falling to just 13%.

2. For once, I think the polls are accurate.

I never trust the ones about Bush - they're probably always about 30%padded in his favour.

Now 13% sounds more like it for Cheney. I think Cheney has consistently polled about 19% approval rating. After the shooting-in-the-face incident, his ratings dropped to around 9%.

YEOW that is one hated man.

Well, good. Easier to get rid of the rubbish.
