Poll: Just 26% support Geraldo’s Senate bid

According to a new poll from Monmouth University, only 26 percent of New Jersey voters say there are “very” or “somewhat” likely to vote for Rivera should he choose to run. Nearly two-thirds, or 65 percent, said they would not be likely to vote for Rivera; including a 51-percent majority who say they would not consider voting for him at all.

The numbers are similarly unpromising among Republicans, 48 percent of whom said they would be unlikely to vote for Rivera. Only 44 percent said they would be likely to vote for him. (The poll sampled 803 New Jersey adults, with a margin of error of +3.5 percent.)

Bad start, Jerry Rivers.

WOW, that many want the ‘spitter’ to run for senate?

I was hoping that he would run and get off Fox, can’t stand him!

Hey Geraldo, look on the bright side, there’s a +3.5% margin of error, so the support might really be closer to 30%.

I want him to run, I just want him to fail miserably after running. How do I answer?

Too bad – I like Geraldo – I honestly do – I like the way he fights for what he “thinks” is right.

His wrong more often than not – but he will at least argue with people and not just call them names.

Bah, he hasn’t promised them a lot of free stuff yet.

Michelle Malkin fans are even less likely to vote for him.

If it get him off of Fox News, I want him to run.

I don’t live in NJ, but if he made it onto the ballot and he was the republican candidate, I would vote for him. If your choice was Menendez or Rivera, you would pick Menendez?

Maybe Kim Kardasian or Snooky should run?

Poor Gerald Riviera.

Born Gerald Michael Riviera. I can’t imagine why he would change his name from Gerald to Geraldo. Maybe he’s part Indian, too. Native American, I mean. Somebody check his cheekbones.

If he wins, is chairman thrown his way?

True, unless you’re a woman who disagrees with him. Then, he will either try to screw you or spit in your face (or both).
