i didn't pay much attention to the gallup
"most admired" poll that came out earlier in the week. but then
ezra klein highlighted the partisan breakdown of the poll:
president obama is the second most admired man
among republicans?!?!? okay, he's only got 6%, but that's two points higher than glenn beck. and he is only 5 points behind GW bush, which actually means that considering the +/-4% margin of error, obama could actually be #1.
that's pretty amazing. also both that and the fact that obama got most admired among all americans (with a whopping 17 point lead over the second place contender) illustrates that the level of anger i read in both left and right wing blogs is by no means as universal as it sometimes seems to be. or maybe it just means that, other than the current president, the american public doesn't strongly admire any men.
