Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin remains a top favorite of Republican voters, but she’s also the front-runner they least want to see get the GOP’s 2012 presidential nomination.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 81% of Likely GOP Primary Voters have a favorable opinion of Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts and an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. Seventy-nine percent (79%) share a favorable opinion of Palin, the party’s 2008 vice presidential nominee, and 77% express positive feelings about another 2008 contender, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.
These findings include 44% with Very Favorable opinions of Palin and Huckabee and 38% who feel that way about Romney. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Still, one-in-three likely primary voters (33%) say Palin is the frontrunner they would least like to see nominated. Twenty-three percent (23%) feel that way about former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Fifteen percent (15%) say Romney is their least favorite of the leading candidates and 13% say the same of Huckabee.

You and your damn math.
Bahstuhd!
Serenity Now!
There is a lot of information in that poll, about a number of the potential candidates, yet Rasmussen CHOOSES to headline his report with the allegedly negative bit about Sarah Palin.
Form your own conclusions......
2 Rino’s and a conservative, hummm this is supposed to be a tough decision.
Looks like Rasspukson group and Fox=CNN group doing the same damn thing they have done in the past. Here is your choice now choose because we are biased.
What a crock of crap.
Just putting the best number up for Sarah that Rasmussen Reports had as a possible new title. Oddly the worse number he had for her made it to the title........Odd.........Accident I’m sure.
You expect different from the 'Biased Bullsh** Corporation'?
Do you sell computers ;^)
Huck is a liberal. Who’s your candidate?
What is it with this Romney crud? I’ve not talked to anyone who likes him, most on this board can’t seem to stand him—how do they always have him stuck up there in the front?
What is it with that?!
I will not vote for Romney.
Well, Matt Damon did say there was a 1 in 3 chance McCain wouldn’t live through a first time and that Sarah Palin as President scared him.

Personally I thought he was probably right on and it made me happy. /S
A lot of people like Sarah but feel embarrass to say that she is their choice, a lot say the same thing here on FR......back in 1980 the polls said that they wanted Former President Ford to face Carter again even though everybody loved Reagan and saw him fight for the nomination in 1976/ they said that he can’t win -— he will lose in a blowout, that’s a fact buddy
You "story" would mean 77% hope Gingrich is the nominee, 85% hope Romney is the nominee and 87% hope Huckabee is the nominee....
Another one of those WTF polls, hmmmm ?
No.

I watching Sarah on Greta’s show tonight and when she said “There were a lot of W.T.F. moments in the SOTU” I actually spit out my diet Coke laughing.
Too Damn funny.
She has that Aw Shucks, water of a ducks back, disarming humor.

ROTFLMAO!!!
Since the election roughly 98% of people I have spoken to who voted Republican in 2008 have said the same thing. Very few of the 98% had a positive thing to say about McCain.
Yep...I was going to stay home until Palin was picked....
I already voted for Palin once....I gladly will again...
Palin / West ‘12
LOL.
Let’s use it to beat the soup Nazi for a decent bowl of Matza Ball soup.
