I stopped caring about approval ratings long ago.

[/ QUOTE ] Would you want the candidate of your preferred party to win in the coming presidential election ?

In choosing that candidate, would you look at his approval ratings at all ?

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't have a preferred party. But if I did, I would be looking at whether I agree with his stance on the issues, not what a bunch of random people thought of him.

[/ QUOTE ]Quite rightly so. And after choosing him, on the basis of his positions and ideology, I presume you do give a damn about his election chances.

In case you do, approval ratings matter -- by definition.

"Electability" is what brought us John Kerry.
