Harry Enten shakes his head:
Romney's favorables are bad, but probably not the worst of any recent presidential candidate. Romney's latest net favorable (favorable minus unfavorable) in the CBS poll is -1 percentage point. If that holds through the election, there have been eight major party candidates with an equal or worse favorable rating since 1980, including Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, John Kerry, and John McCain.
He adds:
Part of the reason that many think Romney's poor standing is historic is because Pew Research's data has said it is. The problem, in my opinion, is that Pew is mixing its data from this year with Gallup's from the past. Pew has been consistently one of the more favorable pollsters for President Obama in 2012.
