Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
Mr. Obama is the only popular politician left in the world. He would win an election in any one of the G-20 countries, and his fellow world leaders will do anything to take home a touch of that reflected popularity.

How is it that some celebrities, whom the average person would believe to have all the popularity a human being could want, still admit to feeling lonely?

The Cook Political Report now predicting senate democrats are poised to pick up five to seven seats, which would give them the majority.

I think what it is is do not depend on the president to get you over the line. Do not depend on the fundraising, on the turnout operation, the president's own popularity, because it's not going to work.
Presidents have to decide what their popularity is for. Lyndon Johnson probably understood best that political popularity is a wasting asset. You had to use it when you had it.
I am a person who always tries not to be easily influenced by position or achievement. I thank God for the fact that I can share more kindness and a good quality of life through the popularity. Not for the popularity itself.
Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
My popularity, my happiness and sense of worth depend to no small extent upon my skill in dealing with people.
