YouGov Poll: 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney is Republicans' top pick for 2016 [truncated]

Sometime next January (though the exact dates are not yet set), the 2016 presidential primary selection process will begin. One year before then, partisans on both sides say they prefer what they know to what they don’t – with the GOP 2012 standard bearer and the woman who has been the Democratic frontrunner for years leading as their respective party’s 2016 choices.

The latest Economist/YouGov Poll gives Mitt Romney the lead when registered voters who describe themselves as Republicans are asked who they would like to win the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. And his margin is wide – more than twice as many Republicans choose him as select the next highest-ranked Republican, Florida Governor Jeb Bush. When Republicans are asked to choose between Bush and Romney, Romney leads by two to one.

Truncated? I thought he was emasculated after the convention. This confirms it.

Truncated is what happens to GOP elephants who run afoul of Candy Crowley.

We must have a large number of “Adlai Stevenson Republicans” at work now.

” YouGov’s former Chief Executive Officer Nadhim Zahawi resigned from the board to stand in the 2010 General Election”

Since yougov ‘partnered’ with Huffpost their stuff is garbage.
Used to love them.
Would like to find an intelligent free polling group.

I think the new site is pathetic.

No more Bushs. No more Clintons. Romney gets my vote hands down. Smart man and knows how to run a successfull business and running the U.S. of A is definitely big business.

Its name recognition.

They are “beauty contest” polls. And also meaningless.

Low information voters remember Romney’s name.

Whoop-dee-doo.

In my opinion, RomneyCare alone is enough to disqualify him from any office, much less President.

Face it, Romney’s a loser if he couldn’t beat a failed idiot, pretender president like Obama.

I know several very successful businessmen, who for a variety of reasons, I wouldn't want anywhere near the White House. The skills don't necessarily translate.

I'll ask you again: If he is so skilled, why was he such a lousy governor?

Bwhahahahahahahahaha

Can anyone say Ground Hogs day?

Willard seems to be showing signs of a narcissistic personality disorder.

It will be fun to watch him, Jeb and Rick Santorum bitch slapping at each other. Saturday night live will have a ball with it.

If he didn't have the balls to call a overweight Windbag on their lies during the second debate or take Nero to task during a third debate of Foreign Policy he clearly doesn't have the backbone to deal with Terrorism or Vlad. One thing for sure, he'd lead the charge on Pushing more social programs like Obamacare.

I don’t think we should have elections anymore. Just let the media get together with the Hollywood elites, the college profs, and the Big Money guys to figure out who gets the next shot at dragging the rest of us through the mud.
