A new Rasmussen poll finds RNC chairman Michael Steele with only a modest approval rating among Republican primary voters, with a high number of respondents who have no opinion.
The numbers: 39% favorable, 27% favorable, and 35% with no option. A further breakdown shows 11% very favorable and 28% somewhat favorable, to 9% very unfavorable and 18% somewhat unfavorable.
The pollster's analysis also finds that male Republican voters view Steele both more favorably and more unfavorably than women Republicans do, with women having a disproportionately high undecided number of 41%.

"39% favorable, 27% favorable"

9% very unfavorable + 18% somewhat unfavorable = 27% unfavorable.

The 35% have no opinion because he's totally invisable to them. The pollster says the name, even shows pictures, but the respondent just keeps going "where? Where is he in in this picture you keep showing to me?"

It's all about demographics. If they would have polled the hopefully soon to be young neo-republicans whom tend to be more hip-hoppy, he would easily have gotten 40% favorables & only 26% unfavorable. The rock solid number is the 35% who don't have a clue who this dude even is.
I know, 101%. I think the pollsters chipped in.
