Ralph Nader, whose independent candidacy worries Democrats who think he cost them the White House in 2000, has become distinctly unpopular with the American public which held a balanced view of him four years ago, the University of Pennsylvania’s National Annenberg Election Survey shows.
In 2000, Annenberg polling showed that 24 percent of the public had a favorable view of Nader and 24 percent an unfavorable opinion. In 2004, 21 percent have a favorable view and 37 percent an unfavorable opinion.
