Poll: Gregory Not A Popular Choice

David Gregory only registered 14% in a FishbowlDC/TVNewser poll of who should host Meet the Press. That's 14% too much! There's more work to be done! That was good enough for a distant fourth place. 

We prefer Brokaw and Ifill, but understand the appeal of Chuck Todd too. We're just not sure he has the chops to question people. His strength is clearly analysis. 

Also, blogger Tea512 pithily summarizes two problems with Gregory (my emphasis):
David Gregory already works at NBC and he has hosted the show in the past. The problem he is not liked, or seen as a nice person, so they may not get important guests and lose ratings
