"Massive amounts of attention have been given over the last few years to a possible Michael Bloomberg Presidential run in 2012. And a new PPP poll finds that he is indeed a unifier -- Democrats, Republicans, and independents all don't like him. Only 19% of Americans expressed a favorable opinion of Bloomberg on our most recent national poll while 38% said they see him unfavorably. That -19 favorability spread makes him more unpopular than Barack Obama, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, and even Sarah Palin and places him slightly ahead of only Newt Gingrich. Republicans are the most negative toward him, giving him a 12/48 favorability. Independents weigh in at 19/37, and only Democrats even come close to rating him positively with 24% saying they have a favorable opinion of him to 30% with a negative one."Bloomberg is an anti-gun, anti-salt, classic nanny state bureaucrat with a bad case of Little Man's Disease who believes his wealth gives him the right to tell everyone else how they must live, what they must eat, and what they can't have to defend themselves. He'd be a disaster as president, and given his history in NYC, if he ever did get into the White House we'd probably never be able to get him out of there.
Neither major party would nominate him, and an independent candidacy would hurt Obama more than whoever the GOP nominee turns out to be. So on that basis, RUN MICHAEL RUN!
