Well, you have to start somewhere, right?
Now that Levi Johnston has embarked on a political career, the young man from Wasilla probably should start caring about polls. The firm Public Policy Polling commissioned a poll to see what Alaskans thought about Bristol Palin’s baby daddy — and it’s not pretty. Only 6 percent of Alaskans see him in a favorable light, with 72 percent thinking of him negatively.
These numbers set the record for the most unpopular person the group has ever polled in any state, a record formerly held by John Edwards in his home state of North Carolina. (Edwards was also 72 percent unfavorable, but with a 15 percent favorability rating.)
“Johnston is reviled pretty universally across the board but he’s a little more popular with Democrats than he is with Republicans or independents,” the pollster said.
They also ask this in the poll’s summary: “Who besides like Hitler or Osama bin Laden do you think we could poll who would be less popular in some particular state?”
Ouch.
