In a new poll, Quinnipiac University asks Americans if they would vote for certain Republican presidential candidates. Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney receive the most consideration, and Sarah Palin and Donald Trump get the most “no way” votes. Read more here.
Enthusiastic Would consider voting Would never vote Huckabee 13% 34% 32% Romney 15% 38% 26% Palin 15% 24% 58% Trump 9% 26% 58% Newt Gingrich 9% 29% 42% Ron Paul 10% 25% 27% Michelle Bachman 6% 21% 29%
I, because of unworthy HTML skilz, can't get them to lineup right. Sorry.

For comparison, the poll should have asked the same about Obama.
This is a meaningless set of data. I guarantee that once the field is narrowed down to one or two, that enthusiasm will be sizable in comparison to Obummer. People are going to walk over broken glass to get this loser out of office.
They would have except that they needed the dumb-o-crat contact source for dead people who would vote for mac daddy.
Did you copy and paste? Or did you take the hard way around and type it yourself?
Palin tops? In point of fact, she's tied (with Republicans) for second with Huckabee at 15% (and also tied with DK/NA).
Also, amongst Republicans, Palin leads all-comers except for Trump in the "never vote for" category at 24%. The next closest is Newt at 12%.
Palin is popular with Republicans, but she's also the least popular with Republicans, save for Donald Trump.
With Independents, Palin and Trump are tied for the not-so-coveted "never vote for" category at 58%, with Newt again in second at 42%.
As a matter of mathematical certainty, you cannot win the national election as a Republican without at least splitting the independent vote. The only time McCain led in the polls in 2008 was when he took majority control (for a short time) of the independent voters.
Copy and pasted (twice) and it still didn't work. I'm stumped.
If the stupid party puts up another McCain, like Romney or the Huckster, they will have to pave the path to the polls with rose petals to get a decent turnout.
No pdf code......Let me look further.
Copy won’t transfer into short column of FR reply block. Comes out garbled in preview.
Oh well, we understand.......
why do allow a Dem party front group like QU to peddle this crap ?
why do the Rhino DC insiders at NRO push it !
The Dem party push poll group had Rick Scott
losing by 6-7 pts on election day !
Don’t worry the Barry suck ups at Fox ( O Reilly aka Ted Baxter , Sheppy , Bretty , Geraldo, Juanny ) will peddle this propaganda for their Messiah !!!!
Twenty-four percent is only two thirds of the democrats so she would get thirty three percent of the Democrats. Cool mopper.
I thought this was an interesting comment, and more than a little antithetical to everything I have read about the accuracy of Quinnipiac's poll the last several election cycles. So, I looked to verify your statement. Much to (not) my surprise, I couldn't verify it.
In fact, I did find this poll from Quinnapiac dated November 1, 2010. As you can see, it says it's a statistical "dead heat", which probably wasn't surprising considering Scott won by only 1.15-points. In two earlier polls four-weeks prior to the election, one poll had Scott winning by one or two, and another had Sink with a slight advantage, but also a large number of uncertain or undecided voters.
How did Quinnipiac's last poll fair compared to Rasmussen's last poll in that race. Well, you can see for yourself.
The reality is that scientific polling is really pretty (and surprisingly) accurate, and people exaggerate the instances where it’s way off.
It’s a fantasy that people cling to, though, when they see a poll with results they don’t like.
Well, the Bin Laden killing is going to have some (small) latent impact (The first Gulf War didn't win Bush Sr. re-election) but the problem is by Nov 2012 the economy will likely be turning upwards a decent amount (no President controls the business cycle.)
The assumption that he's automatically a loser and it's just a matter of the Republicans selecting the perfect candidate from their point of view, is dangerous. I assure you that if a comical candidate wins the Republican nomination, Obama will win.
That is a stretch. There are absolutely no signs that things are going to be better. By all real indicators, we are heading backwards. The ADP payroll numbers coming out look terrible. Housing is not even at the bottom yet for it to rebound. Inflation and fuel prices have to keep going up as long as the Administration sticks to its policy guns. There is a lot of fingers crossed on the left that some miracle will occur to change this but the only problem is that the Regime shot it's wad with the stimulus spending and it didn't do a thing. There are no bullets left. If Obummer would have let things bottom out naturally, you would be correct. And don't get me started on the treasury bubble about to hit.
What bothers me about this is that Palin and Trump are the only two who are really attacking Obama, yet they are viewed the least favorably. This confirms fears I have that the American people still overall like Obama despite some economic misgivings and are afraid of no nonsense conservatives. Okay, I realize Trump isn’t a conservative, but he isn’t afraid of appearing uncivil.
