White House hopefuls Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin lead a narrower field of potential rivals for the 2012 Republican Party presidential nomination, according to a poll released on Thursday.
The Gallup survey is the organization's first since Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and real estate mogul Donald Trump opted out of the slowly evolving primary race.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and so far the apparent front-runner, led Palin by 17 percent to 15 percent, well within the poll's 4 percentage points margin of error. Texas Representative Ron Paul ranked third at 10 percent.
But the survey of 971 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said 22 percent of respondents had no preference.
Neither Romney nor Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and a former Alaska governor, has formally announced plans for the 2012 campaign....

Go Palin. Don’t never give up.
Jimmy Carter 65%
Ronald Reagan 31%
ALL Polls are propaganda.. all of them..
even the ones that reflect what you want to see..
Polls are manipulation of the rubes.. people who have little or no values..
People that have values already are aware of who they support.. polls mean NOTHING..
Therefore Polls manipulate liberals.. thats why there ARE Polls..
Some republicans are in fact liberals.. a stone republican is not effected by a “POLL”...
A vote for Palin in the primaries is a vote for Obama in the general. Flame away!
A vote for Romney is the same... I would vote for Palin and Cain before Romney. In fact, I probably would sit home if Romney is nominated. He would be no different than Obama.
Romney and Palin lead smaller 2012 Republican field (Tied within the margin of error)
I’ll break the tie by voting for the Margin of Error.
I would vote the rest of the ticket, but leave off the top if Romney were to win the nomination. Either choice is for the destruction of America.
Why flame a moronic statement from an attention whore?
Pimping your scumbag Romney, again, RomneyBOT?
Gov. Palin is the real thing, versus
the ineligible backstabber Milt — who has
the mega-albatross of RINO-hood and RomneyCARE.
I’m sorry you mistook my attempt to impart some sage advice into your otherwise brain-dead skull for an attention grabbing stunt. Some of us would rather not see the presidential version of last year’s Delaware senate race. You’re welcome.
I didn’t say thank you, nor is your advice wanted. Saying something is so doesn’t make it so.
Not that I really care about Romney, but I wonder how many of you were pimping him as the real conservative candidate over McCain 4 years ago.
But, yeah, if I had to choose, I’d go with him. Unlike you fake conservatives, my first obligation is overthrowing the Marxist dictator, and he’ll give me a better shot at that than her.
Well, that’s just too bad for you, isn’t it? You’ll thank me later.
Whatever Romneypimp.
Guess that proves you are a Romneypimp, because no one who was active on the boards 4 years would ever pretend that anyone was calling him the conservative candidate over McCain. If anything, people were saying they would take McCain or Guiliani over the man who subjected his state to Universal Healthcare.
Romney for Obama in 2008
The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

Romney - the Magic RINO:
"I'm not running as the Republican view
or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn't make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan

Look, I understand you’re trying to get Obama re-elected, but at least be honest about your intentions instead of undermining the GOP’s chances with an unelectable reality TV star.
