<snip>

Obama had a net favorability rating of +17, best among any prospective candidate. Among those surveyed, 75 percent had an opinion of Obama (46 percent favorable, 29 percent unfavorable). Should Obama run -- he hasn't yet decided -- the trick will be continuing to have a large net favorability rating, even as more voters become familiar with his policies.

Edwards has a +10 net favorability rating. Among those surveyed, 86 percent had an opinion of Edwards (48 percent favorable, 38 percent unfavorable). In other words, Edwards has excellent name recognition, and room to improve his favorable ratings.

1. suggestion

Next time could you do one post that compares all the Dems contenders instead of breaking them up into different posts? I think this information is valuable when viewed as a whole instead of incrementally.

2. fair enough

I've been told by DUers not to snip a lengthy number of paragraphs from a link, so i thought breaking up the positive and the negative would make more sense. two sides of the same coin.

I just find the information interesting when viewed as a whole.
