Hard to believe that there’s a member of President Obama’s administration who’s less popular than Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, but there is: Secretary of the Interior Ken “Oil Moratorium” Salazar.
Rasmussen has the unpopular particulars:
With gas prices soaring, the pressure’s on the Obama administration to increase the number of permits for deepwater oil drilling. Right now, just 16% of Likely U.S. Voters have a favorable opinion of the man who’ll grant those permits, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, with a scant one percent (1%) who regard him Very Favorably.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 27% view the former Colorado senator unfavorably, including 11% with a Very Unfavorable view of him. But like many of his fellow Cabinet members, Salazar is an unknown commodity to many voters: 57% don’t know enough about him to venture any kind of opinion.
The most surprising number in this survey is the fact that 1% of likely voters regards Salazar Very Favorably. We can only guess that the 1% is comprised of former Village People fans who appreciate the jaunty tilt of Salazar’s cowboy hat and/or Dr. Strangelove fans who are reminded of Slim Pickens playing Major T. J. “King” Kong.
One thing we know for sure is that the 1% can’t possibly be approve of his performance as Secretary of the Interior.

How can the SSoI be at 16% and the man that sets the policies be at 44% without a media bent like a pretzel for Obama? THe same can be said of every single policy of the Obama Regime yet still at 44%. Sure those +8-12 donk sampling percentages has something to do with it. So I can only conclude it is his skin color or rather America's reaction to his skin color.
None of the numbers surprise me, except for the 57% who don't know who he is. I would expect that number to be higher, considering the ignorance of American populace. And the feds would LOVE to see that number go higher.
Yet another buffoon in the Numbnuts regime. Did anyone think it would be otherwise?
16% is still...TOO DAMN HIGH.
There shall always be idiots in the world.
