Showing Original Post only (View all)Poll: John Boehner's Favorability Rating Just Above Zimmerman's, Snowden's.. -*ugly pic alert!* [View all]
Twice as many Americans view House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) negatively than view him positively, according to an NBC/WSJ poll released Wednesday. Poll respondents ranked Boehner just ahead of Edward Snowden and George Zimmerman in popularity.
Only 18 percent of Americans have a positive opinion of Boehner, while 36 percent view him negatively, the poll found. Boehner's unfavorable ratings, which stood at 29 percent last December, jumped in the aftermath of January's fiscal cliff debate.
Boehner's rating, at a net -18, puts him far behind former President George W. Bush and ahead of only Snowden and Zimmerman -- the two least popular public figures tested. NSA leaker Snowden had an 11 percent favorable rating and a 35 percent unfavorable rating, while Zimmerman, who was acquitted in the death of Trayvon Martin, had a 14 percent favorable rating and a 39 percent unfavorable rating

OP
Too bad in the latest REAL poll, Snowden's approval ratings as a Whistle Blower have risen yet again

Or maybe Assange, Greenwald, Manning, Putin, and Snowden could share the Peace Prize!

Don't forget Cheetos mocking the usurious student loan rates when the Democrats wanted them reduced.
