DARTH FOR PRESIDENT

Poll: Darth Vader More Popular Than All 2016 Candidates

If the GOP ran Lord Vader – he would even beat out our best hope of Comrade Clinton! Even Boba Fett would beat out Hillary! And if they ran a Vader-Fett ticket, comrades – we could lose the election!

Poll: Darth Vader More Popular Than All 2016 Candidates

July 23, 2014 By Curtis Kalin

America, meet your new 2016 Presidential front-runner…

The Washington Post’s Wonkblog compared the favorability ratings of famous characters from Star Wars with Gallup’s favorability ratings of potential 2016 candidates. The result was a potentially new low in American politics. One of the most evil fictional characters of all time has higher poll numbers than any potential presidential candidate.

The Star Wars polling was taken from Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight, who recently performed a study of Americans’ opinions on the timeless pair of trilogies.null

The highest rated real-life politicians are Hillary Clinton and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. But they are beaten out by four fictional Star Wars figures. Clinton is tied with Boba Fett (the bounty hunter who froze Han Solo in carbonite).

While Vader handily defeats all real-life challengers, three characters dominate the polling. Topping the list is Luke Skywalker, followed by Han Solo and Yoda. Their favorables are all over 80%.

Also noteworthy is Emperor Palpatine out-polling current President Barack Obama. Not surprisingly, Congress took dead last place in the polling. Their popularity remains at historic lows, beaten out by lice, root canals, and used car salesmen.

Being rated lower than Jar Jar Binks… man, there’s some serious hate there.

Lets compare apples against apples. I want to see how Obummer stacks up against Lando Calrissian.

All Scott Walker has to do to win is change his first name to LukeSky.

Looks like Chris Christie has a rocky road ahead of him (not the ice cream!) if he wants to be the president. He is neither loved, nor hated, but just right in the middle. It must suck for him to be less popular than the damn Emperor. Now, I can understand people liking Vader, but the Emperor? WTF?!
I can see JarJar being more popular than Boner and Bitch McConnel. Those two are pathetic.

I would vote for anybody on the original Star Trek cast … except the libfuk (Captain Kirk), the neegro (Lt. Uhura), the commie (Commander Chekov), the homo (Sulu), the pussy (Dr. McCoy), or the drunk (Chief Engineer Scotty) …

So, by process of elimination, I would vote for this guy, … an illegal immigrant, no doubt
