Bill Richardson In The Polls

Newsweek recently released a new poll about "How Accepting Are American Voters?" In this poll they polled the ideas of voting for a non-traditional candidate. For example a woman (Clinton), an African-American (Obama), a Mormon (Romney) and a Hispanic (Richardson).

80% of Americans said they would vote for a Hispanic but when it came to Bill Richardson only 22% had a favorable rating, with 14% having an unfavorable rating and a huge 45% having never heard of Richardson. Also asked if Richardson has enough experience to run the country, 57% said that they "Don't Know". Bill Richardson shows the disadvantage that is set up by the mass media to candidates that are not in the top of the polls. Only three candidates are really being considered by the major media groups for the Democratic nomination and Richardson is not one of them. Thus, his "never heard of" ratings are much higher than Clinton's 1% or Obama's 13%.
