15. Surprising opinion poll numbers for Kerry

CNN: approve 47 disapprove 42 and FOX: 43, 40 - which is not that different than when he became S0S. As the polls were done both done from September 6 through 8 --- last Friday through Sunday -- they are considerably higher than I would have expected. These are, of course, not fantastic but as the point person on an unpopular issue, they are not bad.

This is important only in the sense if he had Dick Cheney like numbers, his ability to be a spokesperson for the President domestically would have been damaged. It also suggests that people are ignoring the silly twisting the media does. Internationally, it is clear that he is respected by his peers.

(placed here - not to generate a thread seen by DU - where his approval rating is much lower.
