25% Romney
24% Palin
22% Huckabee
14% Gingrich

1% Pawlenty
6% Some other candidate

He's also among those that the party least wants to win, though Sarah Palin edges him out, as does Haley Barbour (Pawlenty tied Gingrich for third most-hated):
The problem is clearly name recognition. At 28 percent, Pawlenty ties Barbour for the biggest "huh?" factor.9% Romney
21% Palin
10% Huckabee
15% Gingrich
21% Barbour
15% Pawlenty
11% Not sure

It's really early for someone from Minnesota to have much name recognition in the 2012 pres race. Right now it's just who people know.
I think Romney will win, but if Huckabee runs again they'll split the social conservative vote AGAIN (McCain wouldn't have one if that hadn't happened last year), possibly leaving an opening for T-Paw to win, just like McCain (both moderates).
No Ron Paul in the Rasmussin poll? Come on...does the blacklisting have to start so early this time around?
Posted On: Friday, Jul. 10 2009 @ 8:21AMWhen I first came up here to work in the mid 90's, the Pages researched and informed on all candidates from various parties for various elections. As well, excellent, in depth reporting on important social concerns.
Seems like eons ago.
As stats show, Teflon Tim, the Boy Scout with a Switchlade, is not even a known contender for office, nor has he announced he is running. So the print this week is a sad little push for this piece of crap, rather than information on just what the hell is going on with our state services. No representation of the outrage of the vast majority of us for this lowlife.
