John who?

A new poll out today from National Journal’s “The Hotline” found that the overwhelming majority of Americans – 72 percent – have never heard of new House Majority Leader John Boehner, a West Chester Republican.

By comparison, only 24 percent had not heard of Boehner’s predecessor in the job, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.

The poll found that when people were asked to name who replaced DeLay, only 9 percent named Boehner. Two percent named someone else and a whopping 87 percent had no idea. Among Republican voters only, 12 percent were able to name Boehner but 3 percent got the question wrong and 83 percent still were without a clue.

The poll, conducted by Financial Dynamics, was done Feb. 16-19 and included a survey of 807 registered voters, 37 percent Democrats, 36 percent Republicans and 20 percent independents. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
