GALLUP POLL NEWS SERVICE >> GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS
Using a "feeling thermometer" to evaluate the major Republican and Democratic candidates for president in 2008, a majority of Americans indicate they feel warmly toward Barack Obama; Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards are rated nearly as well. Although she has high warm ratings, Hillary Clinton also has the highest cold ratings, pushing down her average rating among Americans. However, among Democrats she is the most well-regarded, ahead of Obama.
