Cheney's Star on Rise (Again)

Fascinating...former Vice President Dick Cheney, who was Mr. Unpopular in January when he left office, has become substantially more popular in the intervening four months. The difference: Cheney is now the leading spokesman for the GOP, attacking an Obama administration whose popularity has spent those four months declining. Not bad for Wyoming's favorite son.

Cheney's popularity has risen 8% in these four months. Due diligence: his unpopularity is still at 55%, not exactly Mr. Popular. The CNN survey results are here.
