Nearly half of likely voters — 48 percent — are not satisfied with the current candidates for president, with Republicans and conservative voters the most unhappy about their likely candidate choices in November, a new nationwide Zogby Interactive poll shows.

In what could spell bad news for the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, an overwhelming 86 percent of self-described “very conservative” voters said they are displeased with the current presidential candidates, and 65 percent of these voters said they are very unsatisfied.

The vast majority of conservatives (76 percent) and Republicans (76 percent) also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the current candidates, as did more than half of political independents (55 percent).

100% of the people I ask are dissatisfied with the quality of the candidates.

[Red Badger]

What’s scary is that 52% think they are okay........

[TornadoAlley3]

We need a do over.

[mgc1122]

Yeah, a do over is a good idea.

[weegee]

55% dissatisfied with Zogby...

[farlander]

No freakin’ kidding. After all this I doubt either of the three would actually be the frontrunners...

Keep telling yourself that.

Talk about a wasted election.

[Slapshot68]

48% seems low.

[television is just wrong]

yes we do. the liberal press stuck their nose in and manipulated the republican primaries which is why we ended up with mc pain dancing away with the nomination.

[svcw]

I do not believe the 48%, it has got to be higher. I do not know a single person of any political persuasion that likes their choices.

[Piquaboy]

They should be called the three stooges.

Still, they all have a leg up on all of Congress.

Our local radio morning drive host, who is usually right, told us he has this information from his source who he calls "Son of Deep Throat":

Ed Rollins got overheard telling people that his guy Huckabee will be McCain's VP pick because that was the Rockerfeller wing's plan from the beginning-- get McCain nominated and make sure anyone who didn't go along with the McCain plan got cut off at the knees.

This is why Huckabee attacked only Romney even after McCain was the clear front-runner and this is why Huckabee will be the VP pick.

I have no way of knowing if this is true. But I cannot remember when Jim Quinn's named source has ever been wrong. I certainly hope he is this time.

300 Million people to choose from - three years spent choosing them - and THIS is what we come up with!!

If McCain think that choosing Huckabee is going to make him any more popular with conservatives, he’s an idiot. From what I’ve read here, most of us dislike The Huckster just as much as we dislike McCain.
