Kerry Trails Herbert Hoover In Polls

When I started this blog, it was never my intention to give it a political focus. But there are too many neat stories around to ignore.

The Washington Post has released more information on last week's Washington Post-ABC News Poll. According to the survey, John Kerry is trailing the much unloved John Ashcroft and is tied with the recently convicted Martha Stewart. Some of the numbers are:

• John Ashcroft: 49 (2003)
• Prince Charles: 45 (2003)
• Jesse Jackson: 38 (2003)
• Vladimir Putin: 38 (2003)
• John Kerry: 36 (2004)
• Martha Stewart: 36 (2004)
• Joseph McCarthy: 35 (1954)
• Rush Limbaugh: 34 (2003)
• O.J. Simpson: 29 (1995)

Polls are weird anyway.
