OF INTEREST:
Presidential speculation has swirled around New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg since he switched from Republican to independent last year. But Californians do not have an automatic positive response to Bloomberg, who made billions with his self-named financial data company. Just 14 percent of voters view him favorably, while 38 percent view him unfavorably. The remaining 48 percent have no opinion about him. Those numbers hold steady regardless of party affiliation.

The Field Poll of 496 registered voters was conducted by telephone from Jan. 14-20. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

25% will support this guy? Probably swamps the number who would support McCain or Huck.
Gubby and Maria must be bummed.. There goes the Sec’y of State slot..
It’s disturbing that his support among Republicans and Democrats is apparently equal.
So if he runs third party, it may not help the Republicans after all—especially if the Republicans manage to nominate a dog of a candidate.
(With apologies to dogs and dog owners.)
True. lol.. he still faces an uphill battle

snip from the poll results analysis.
The results indicate that only about half (52%) of voters in this state have an opinion of Bloomberg, and that among those who do, many more view him unfavorably (38%) as favorably (14%).
In addition, just 25% say they would consider supporting Bloomberg if he were to run as an independent in this year’s presidential elections. This compares to 62% who say they definitely would not support him.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
A fresh face...
One RINO is as bad as the other though...
With six RINOs you get egged and rolled by the RNC
You are so right. My boss (D) said she will go independent this time. She wouldn’t even consider voting for Rudy!
