HILLARY CLINTON'S LIKABILITY  PROBLEM

Allies of Hillary Clinton ... are worried about one big thing: her likability problem in the general election...

Presidential elections are often decided on personality instead of specific policies.

Along those lines, people in Clinton’s orbit are worried she doesn’t pass the would-you-like-to-have-a-beer-with-her test.

It’s a test she failed against then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in 2008...

Head-to-head 2016 matchups suggest vulnerabilities for Clinton, particularly against Sen. Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican who often talks about his love of professional football.

Team Clinton spent a good part of 2015 highlighting the former first lady’s personality, which they call warm and effusive.

Clinton aides, longtime confidants and friends have always maintained she is charming and funny, at least behind the scenes and out of the public spotlight...

AL GORE'S A LOSER IF IT'S LIKABILITY THAT VOTERS WANT

This election should be a slam dunk for Vice President Gore. National moods and markets are soaring. From Wal-Mart to Wall Street, the future looks healthy.

History says the incumbent party will sail to victory on this tide of optimism.

But that is not happening, and Democrats gathered here to nominate Gore are feeling frazzled and frustrated. One party baron pronounced the vice president's campaign "moribund," and President Clinton is grumbling to friends that his old running mate can't seem to get his act together.

Much of Gore's problem comes down to two words: leadership and likability.

In the latest Los Angeles Times survey, voters prefer Texas Gov. George W. Bush by wide margins on both questions - a major reason why the Republican nominee holds a 9-point lead overall.

This drives Democrats nuts...
