The most likable candidates? Obama and Giuliani are tops

[one...two...tree 2,762]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats and Republicans alike have strong opinions about who has the best chance of capturing the presidency in 2008—Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani, that is—but that's not necessarily the candidate they'd rather go bowling with, take along on a family vacation or even vote for.

Which candidate is the most likable? On the Republican side, Giuliani gets the nod, both from GOP voters and among voters overall. None of the Democratic candidates has a clear advantage among Democratic voters, with Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards running about even. But in a sheer popularity contest, pitting the most likable Democrat vs. the best-liked Republican, it would be Obama over Giuliani, 54 percent to 46 percent, among all voters.

Ask voters which qualities are most important, though, and they put likability well down the list. They attach far more importance to being honest, ethical, decisive and strong.

Well, Bush has set the bar on those two traits so low that a snail could jump over it with about a mile to spare.

It does seem kinda obvious.

It's going to be Clinton vs Giuliani, and Giuliani is going to win.

Mark my words.

There goes the Press again, telling us who we should evaluate, not listing ALL of the candidates.
