According to a new NBC News/Journal poll, BP is one of the biggest villains that the organization has ever surveyed:
[O]nly 6 percent have a favorable rating of BP. In the history of the NBC News/Journal poll, Saddam Hussein (3 percent), Fidel Castro (3 percent) and Yasser Arafat (4 percent) have had lower favorable scores, and O.J. Simpson (11 percent) and tobacco-maker Philip Morris (15 percent) have had higher ratings.

But the news wasn't all bad for BP...
In addition to Yassar Arafat, Fidel Castro, and Saddam Hussein, polling also revealed that the company was more popular than "Painful Rectal Itch" (5%) and "Finding Out That Your Wife Has Run Off With Your Sister" (4%)
When asked about the polling results, BP CEO Tony Hayward responded, "While these results may appear to some to be disappointing, I prefer see the glass as 'half full'"....
