DEAN 68, BUSH 18

Via Calpundit and Oxblog, we see that Gallup has done some polling on what professions are the most trustworthy. Nurses top the list (83%) with doctors close behind (68%). Way down the list, we find business executives (18%), and it bottoms out with car salesmen (7%).

So yeah, that's medical doctors (Dean) in a landslide over business execs (Bush).

Oh wait, you say, Dean was also a state governor (26%). Well, so was Bush. So let's take the averages of the two professions of each candidate and compare:

Dean: (26 + 68)/2 = 47%
Bush: (18 + 26)/2 = 22%

There you have it. Howard Dean is more than twice as trustworthy as George W Bush. Heh.
