The latest poll, courtesy of Republican Rankings shows Sarah Palin leading the field of possible candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential primary:
Sarah Palin…………31.41
Mike Huckabee…..30.03
Mitt Romney………26.34
Tim Pawlenty……….8.94
Newt Gingrich………2.05
John Thune…………..1.33
This comes on the heels of the just released Newsmax-Zogby poll that has Sarah leading all comers nationally for the Republican nomination.
In the accompanying Newsmax article, Dick Morris is quoted as saying the winner of the 2012 Republican nomination will be the next President of the United States. This is assuming, of course, that Barack Obama is the democrat/communist party nominee, which, with his performance so far, is not a sure bet by any means.
This polling shows a continuing trend. Sarah Palin is solidly cementing her position as front runner 2012. Her continued hard work and strong vision for America is what has more and more Americans looking toward her for leadership in these troubled times.
Of course, her writings, such as this don’t hurt a bit!
There is a whole lot of work for her to do. Sure, she can win in Iowas because the primary voters are further to the right, but in the general election, things look pretty grim.
Don't take my word for it, just look at the latest Fox News Poll from January 21st 2010
Despite a few months of big setbacks, Barack Obama still takes down three of his potential 2012 foes by big margins (pdf here; Fox analysis here).
In a new Fox Poll of 900 Registered Voters:
1. Barack Obama 47% Mitt Romney 35%
2. Barack Obama 55% Sarah Palin 31%
3. Barack Obama 53% Newt Gingrich 29%
Breaking it down:
a. Among indies, Obama leads Romney by 15%. He leads Palin by 32% and Newt by 30%.
b. The numbers are pretty tough for the Republican candidates.
c. Palin's popularity in the GOP is often noted, but Romney actually gets more Republican support in a 2012 matchup among Republicans (74%-68%).
Thanks for providing the polling data.
I dont think zogby is very reliable, that is a non scientific poll…. I would be like if I put a poll on my website. The PPP poll that just came out that is a scientific poll has her trailing Huck and Romn. Just saying lets keep things in realisitic prespective.
Ptere,
The poll you're commenting on is not Zogby…that was a prior entry. This entry — the Iowa poll…was posted by Republican Rankings. Though this is an interesting poll, I would not rank it in the class of Zogby, Rasmussen, and Quinnipiac — which are scientific and are the best in the business.
We publish polls from time to time, but in reality, the only number that really matters when all is said and done is: 270 — the number of electoral votes required to win a Presidential race.
In the Fox Poll of 900 Registred voters, what is percentage of the sample rate among those voters based on party affliation? If the poll was overloaded with Democrats then of course the poll would go for Obama vs any GOP candidate.
