NEW YORK The Gallup Poll organization released a report today revealing that despite Al Gore's latest honor -- the Nobel Peace Prize for his global warming battle -- its polls have detected no "groundswell" for a Gore race for the White House in 2008.

It said that its surveys, in fact, have found only a "slightly more positive than negative" rating for the former vice president.

"There has not been a large groundswell of support for him to run for president to this point, and if he were to enter the Democratic primaries, he would place no better than third nationally in the polls," the report declared. In fact, the most recent 2008 Democratic presidential nomination trial heat showed Gore at just 10%, his worst showing this year.

The latest survey of all adults found 50% with a favorable view and 42% unfavorable. Democrats have a more positive view "but his pre-Nobel favorable rating was no better than that of Sen. Barack Obama or former Sen. John Edwards, and lower than Democrats' ratings of Sen. Hillary Clinton."

I predict he won't run, it's better if some supporters accept that so they don't get too "high" and then have to come crashing down all the way back to reality.

1. Maybe the news just needs a few days to reach the masses? He just

got the thing today, after all.

11. The masses

are asses.

21. What a helpful way to think of your fellow Americans.

What about you try thinking of them as human beings with families to support?

2. Thank you for your concern and we'll give it the consideration it so richly

deserves.

7. I can actually picture those words coming out

of your "Al Gore guy"'s mouth- very slowly of course. LOL!

30. Fry: Who are you people?

Gore: I'm Al Gore. And these are my vice presidential Action
Rangers. A group of top nerds, whose sole duty is to prevent
disruptions in the space-time continuum.



Fry: I thought your sole duty was to cast the tie-breaking
vote in the Senate.

Gore: That, and protect the space-time continuum. Read the
Constitution.

5. love it

the polls state gore would not win so why even bother.

6. It's not the lack of "groundswell" but The Shameless Corporate M$M Whores tapping down enthusiasm.

Our USA press is now FULLY compromised into being nothing more than Cheerleaders for BIG MONEY and Large Corporations. As such, they love Republicans and DLC Democrats the most. Al Gore does NOT qualify but HRC is being deified more and more each day. :eyes:

14. DING! DING ! DING!

EXACTLY!!! And I am so sick of corporate America winning no matter what!!

[aquart]

22. They do seem frightened.

[graywarrior]

8. Well, if he doesn't run, I'll come crashing down to the reality of voting for either of my top two

9. They must have started polling at 5:00 a.m. in the morning eastern time.....

I wondered who answered the "survey"?

In otherwords...... :wtf:

[rzemanfl]

17. My former sort of boss used to say "5 a.m. in the morning."

Please stop, okay?

[FrenchieCat]

19. Help, I've been chastised by the Time Patrol!

This is a discussion board, not a classroom!....and learn about double "emphasis"...will ya? :eyes:

[rzemanfl]

24. I don't care about redundancy, I just hate being reminded of that

guy....

[rzemanfl]

25. I should add that to him "5 a.m. in the morning" meant any time

before about eight.

[redqueen]

20. Anything to keep Madame Inevitable in the spotlight!

:bounce:

[aquart]

23. Sure you don't want to say, "Off with her head"?

Since there's absolutely nothing the woman can do to please you, anyway.

[redqueen]

27. Oh let's not get hyperbolic now...

Of course there are things she could do to please me... why be silly?

[tsuki]

10. Geez, the Boys in the Club sure hate him. Republicans "no, I'm

really an Independent" around here would vote for him.

[maximusveritas]

12. Misleading article; The poll was conducted Aug. 13-16

http://www.galluppoll.com/content/?ci=29020

In Gallup's most recent reading of the public's basic opinions of Gore, conducted Aug. 13-16, 50% of Americans said they have a favorable opinion of him and 42% an unfavorable opinion. Gore's favorable rating has been around 50% most of the year, although his ratings rose to the mid-50% range for a brief period following his Academy Award victory.

The Nobel Prize had no effect on this poll.

18. What what WHAT? The MSM is distorting the facts to fluff Hillary?
