The war of personalities between President Obama and Rush Limbaugh is closer to a massacre, notes Brian Montopoli, commenting on a CBS News poll that shows only 19% of respondents rate the radio host favorably. That’s 43 points lower than President Obama’s rating. "Not surprisingly," Limbaugh fares better with Republicans, with 47% viewing him favorably, compared to 7% of Democrats.
And Rush may be the future of the party, but the party seems lukewarm about where he's taking it: 40% of Republicans say they're headed in the right direction; 36% disagree. (More Rush Limbaugh stories.)
