Mitt Romney 25%
Sarah Palin 16%
Newt Gingrich 11%
Everybody else below 6%
The surprised fall in the Zogby polls this week is Newt Gingrich. He has flamed out quickly and fallen to the bottom of the pack with 3% among likely Republican primary voters. Thats down more than 50% from his last poll showing. Pollster John Zogby has indicated in discussion about the poll that it would be nearly impossible for Newt Gingrich to make a comeback. Gingrich was tied with Rick Santorum at 3%, and ahead of only Fred Karger, John Huntsman Jr., and Gary Johnson. Gingrich also had the highest unfavorable number with 17% of Republicans saying they would never vote for Newt.
This assessment seems more realistic considering the disaster this toad is having just starting the campaign.
The man definitely has a split personality.
I believe Goldberg.
On the other hand Gallup last week came out with a poll that was adjusted for Huckabee and Trump being not in the mix and here were the results of the top 3:
Romney 20%
Palin 18%
Gingrich 11%
Does not include Ron Paul in the poll.
Wow.
Interesting because the CNN poll of NH had Ron Paul in 2nd place at 9%.
Some recent polls have had Palin in single digits, which does not seem at all right to me. 16% is a more reasonable number for someone who is not currently running. Romney’s numbers seem ok. Gingrich’s numbers have fallen. Ron Paul wasn’t included, no one else is that well known.
It’s facinating because intrade numbers have pawlenty at 23%
and huntsman at 17%. Palin is 8% Gingrich, Paul, Giuliani are all around 2%
You could get one Palin, one Cain, one Bachmann, one Gingrich, one Paul, one Giuliani, one Huckabee, for the cost of one Pawlenty. Which is saying that the market believes that it is as likely that Pawlenty will be the Republican nominee as any of the 7 others will be the nominee.
Everyone else was at 6% or below. That includes, Ron Paul, Pawlenty, Cain, Bachmann, Huntsman and Santorum.
Some of those people have not announced they are running for President.
With Palin out of the race, the Morris Poll found the following results:
Romney = 30%
Gingrich = 15%
Bachmann = 7%
Cain = 7%
Pawlenty = 5%
Santorum = 3%
Huntsman = 1%
Ron Paul does not appear.
Romney will lose running against Zero....
That makes him LESS THAN ZERO...
You are quite right. My mistake.
What you have to remember is that Dick Morris:
1)Never wanted to show the world that Sarah Palin is a player
2)Wanted to show Bachmann surging
3)Wanted to show Romney in the lead
4)Wanted to show Newt holding his own
2 out 4 isn’t bad.
Notice how Morris and OReally wouldn’t give the results of this poll so they wouldn’t have to mention her strength. ABP Anybody But Palin.
Pray for America
I’m actually surprised Morris published it. Perhaps he had to because someone paid him to take the poll and insisted the results be disclosed.
IF Romney gets the nomination, he will NOT receive my vote in the general election - period. I cast my last vote for a Republican just because they are not a Democrat (That was cast for John The Jerk McCain). I’m tired of holding my nose to vote. Won’t do that any more. A Republican candidate doesn’t have to be “perfect” for me to vote for him/her - but a Socialist wearing a Republican name tag will not get my vote.
We have received 3 robo-calls from Dick Morris in the last 3 weeks.
Romney’s only getting response cause he is the only big name running. Polls this early are a joke since they will move 20 pts 2 wks before the election.
Him picking Mitt is the kiss of death and Sarah will run away with it once she gets her army going.
Pray for America
Any poll dancer worth his salt would say the surprising thing of the poll is Palin being basically in the margin w/o being in the race. That is astonishing as hard as Mitt is running.
Pray for Israel
Shameful omission.
Like you wrote, ABP = Anybody But Palin and she’s still a Fox News contributor. Maybe that’s why?
Morris can’t stand the thought of her entering...LOL.
He’s soon going to eat crow. Wonder how he likes it served?
