John Kerry is not a popular guy
Brendan Nyhan

Losing a highly polarized election has turned John Kerry into a pariah. Republicans hate him because of what he stands for, and Democrats hate him for losing. A Gallup poll conducted July 25-28 (margin of error +/-3%) shows that even Hillary is substantially more popular than Kerry. I've never taken him seriously for 2008, but these numbers have to be seen as another nail in the coffin for his candidacy.

John Kerry:
Favorable 42%
Unfavorable 48
Never heard of 3
No opinion 7

Hillary Rodham Clinton:
Favorable 53%
Unfavorable 43
No opinion 4

(Gallup also found that John McCain and Rudy Guiliani have vastly superior numbers and beat Clinton and Kerry in head-to-head matchups. But since neither of them will win the GOP nomination, that's a moot point. Also, McCain and Giuliani's numbers are inflated due to the lack of Democratic criticism they have received in the last few years. If and when they run for president, their profiles will change dramatically.)
