Poll Sitter - 11x17 Newspaper Negative by Tom Engelhardt
'Poll Sitter'
This is the original newspaper negative by political cartoonist Tom Engelhardt featuring the cartoon printed in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch on April 6, 1984. In the cartoon, Reagan is sitting on a throne high above a garbage dump holding a paper saying 'Reagan Rating High.'
