Reuters: Romney Trails in 12 of 13 "Favorable Characteristics"

Not only did President Obama increase his lead in the head to head poll, but check this out:

.....Obama increased his lead over Romney in certain favorable characteristics. Asked who was more "eloquent," 50 percent of the 1,720 registered voters questioned in the poll favored Obama, compared to 25 percent for Romney. Asked about being "smart enough for the job," 46 percent sided with Obama compared to 37 percent for Romney.

In fact, Obama led Romney in a dozen such favorable characteristics, such as "represents America" or "has the right values." The only such category in which Romney had an advantage was being "a man of faith," as 44 percent picked Romney, who is Mormon, compared to 31 percent for Obama, who is Christian.

The article only tells us 4 of the 13 characteristics in the survey. I wonder what the others would be.

Who'd you like to share magic underwear with?

Disgusting thought I agree but it has to do with his religion.

It's a good thing Romney's faith disallows alcohol, because Romney's personality indicates he'd make a drunken Shrub Bush look like a saint in comparison.
