Early political image:
Since we are still 19 months out, the impact that any candidate can make on the perception of him/her by the popular press is limited. At this stage only the pundits and the local politic nerds are paying any attention to this race. John Cherry is in a unique position, the political good will that envelops Ghranholm will rub off on Cherry in the early stages of the actual primary campaign, since he has decided to run on his work with in the Executive branch.
It seems that the Cherry campaign is currently deciding to present John as a 'conservationist,' which works for him. Along with his age, history and without major support from progressive environmental groups it would be difficult for the campaign to present him as an 'environmentalist.' Since we are in the early stages of the campaign (in this stage the voter shapes his/her political image with what little information s/he is given, namely physical appearance) I will be superficial for one moment, Cherry can pull off a Teddy Roosevelt/Taft conservationalist/conservatism.
I could not find any current polling data.
