Let's Play Word Association!
The Associated Press, with Yahoo News, asked a sampling of 1,752 people what word or trait came to mind when they thought of the presidential candidates. Here are the results:
John McCain:
1. Old, 19 percent
2. Military service, 9 percent
3. Record, qualifications, 8 percent
4. Bush, 7 percent
5. Strength, 7 percent
6. Insider, politician, 7 percent
7. Iraq, terrorism, 6 percent
8. Honest, 5 percent
9. Republican, 5 percent
10. (tie) Moral/good and dishonest, 4 percent
Barack Obama:
1. Outsider, change, 20 percent
2. Lack of experience, 13 percent
3. Dishonest, 9 percent
4. Inspiring, 8 percent
5. Liberal, 6 percent
6, 7 (tie). Obama's race, young, 6 percent
8. Not likable, 5 percent
9. Intelligent, 4 percent
10. Muslim, 3 percent
The way I add it up, the negatives are close to the same for both with McCain 35% and Obama 33%. Your results may vary.
Some of you may be disappointed that people describing Obama "Muslim" only got 3%. Keep working at it - you may get that up to 3.5% before election day. Conversely, the Obama #2 - lack of experience - means you're getting somewhere at least. The carpal tunnel syndrome that you get from all that cutting and pasting from PUMA and right-wing websites might win you a president!
