"Tiger Woods' popularity is dropping faster than his pants.

A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll shows Wood's favorable rating among the public has dropped 24 percentage points since June.


The world's greatest golfer, who has been linked to at least a half-dozen mistresses since Thanksgiving, was viewed as "favorable" by 60% of those surveyed in the new poll, compoared to 84% in June.

His "unfavorable" rating has climbed up to 25% from 9% in the same period.

Why do these numbers matter? Because about 90% of the millions Woods earns are for endorsements - not for his golfing.

Woods' squeaky-clean image as a married family man has been all but demolished by reports that he cavorted with six women.

Woods is holding onto his big bucks backers - at least for now.

The phone survey of 1,041 adult Americans was conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation last Wednesday and Thursday - the day Woods apologized for his "transgressions."

The percentage of people in the survey who voiced "no opinion" about Woods also rose to 13% from 5%."
