PRINCETON, NJ -- For the first time since Al Gore emerged in 1992 as Bill Clinton’s
running mate for president, the vice president is now viewed unfavorably by a
majority of American adults. Fifty-two percent of Americans interviewed in a new
Gallup poll conducted December 2-4 have an unfavorable view of Gore, compared to
46% who view him favorably. Just prior to the November 7 election, Gore’s ratio of
favorable-to-unfavorable ratings was much better: 56% to 39%. By contrast,
attitudes about Republican nominee George W. Bush -- that were comparable to
Gore’s at the time of the election -- have remained positive in the weeks since the
election, with a majority continuing to view the Republican nominee favorably.
Today 56% have a favorable opinion of Bush and only 40% have an unfavorable
opinion, virtually the same as the weekend before the election.
