If you know who Eric Holder is, you probably don't like him

Thirty-seven percent of registered voters polled said they did not know who Holder is — not an unusual situation with even high-ranking government officials. But of those who knew Holder, opinion broke down this way: Six percent said they had very positive feelings toward him; nine percent said they had somewhat positive feelings; 16 percent said they were neutral; 10 percent said they had somewhat negative feelings; and 22 percent said they had very negative feelings toward Holder.

Put another way, that’s 32 percent who said they had negative feelings about Holder, versus 15 percent who said they had positive feelings. That 17-point negative gap was the worst of any person or organization measured by the Journal poll, with the exception of the Tea Party, which had a 23-point negative gap. Holder’s negative-to-positive gap was worse than those of Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and even the never-popular Republican Party. (President Obama’s rating was 42 percent positive versus 46 percent negative — a four-point negative gap.)
