John Howard was presented with more bad poll results before his campaign launch today - the latest Galaxy poll on naked politicians shows him trailing Opposition leader Kevin Rudd heavily.
The poll asked voters which leader they would rather see naked. It reported that 34% of those surveryed chose Kevin Rudd, while ony 16% named the aging PM.
Howard was willing to break his policy of poll silence for the result. "I'm amazed it wasn't zero," he cuckled on the Nine Network. "What a horrible thought."
