It reminds me of Hillary Clinton's problem in '08. A campaign is here to educate the voters about you. Name one thing about Hillary that you could learn about her in the course of a campaign that you don't already know. Given that, and her 46-50% negative favorability rating . . . . that doesn't spell good things for her. I would say the same thing about Van. He ran for a statewide office, people know him (79% according to this poll). Yet, they don't think of him favorably. I think there is a huge obstacle here that he has to overcome. I agree with you.

Still, 30% favorable + 20% unfavorable = 50% hard name recognition. That means that 29% of people recognized his name but have no opinion of him. That could be encouraging in as much as Hilleary could mold those folks. Still 3/2 is not so good on the ratio of favorable to unfavorable. Yup, pretty much.

If 79% of the people are familiar with him and only 30% of the people like him or think of him favorably, clearly, Van Hilleary has a problem. Wow, Adam, that makes it sound even worse.

From the KNE article: ------ Among Republicans, Hilleary has the highest "favorable" rating with all respondents, with 30 percent having a good impression of him. Bryant got a 15 percent favorable rating, while Corker brought up the rear with 7 percent. However, Hilleary also has the highest "unfavorable" rating among the GOP hopefuls - 20 percent. Hilleary, who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2002, also has the highest favorable rating among Republicans - 40 percent to Bryant's 23 percent and Corker's 10 percent. ------- Now the fact that Hilleary has the highest favorable rating and the highest unfavorable rating too, I think is a seperate issue...
