Zogby also asked respondents to select the candidates that they would never vote for.
Trump led the never field with 50 percent, followed by Gingrich at 36 percent, Palin at 36 percent, Huckabee at 34 percent, Paul at 32 percent, and Romney at 27 percent.
That’s gotta sting if you are supporting one of those candidates or possible candidates.
Making a lot of enemies may mean you espouse lousy policies, or it may mean you’re taking flak right over the target. The “whys” would surely differ between those who currently say “never” to Huckabee or Romney and “never” to Palin.
How were Reagan’s “never” numbers when he ran? Way up there, right? Tell me I’m wrong.
Actually, given the demonization of some of those candidates, I’m surprised it is that LOW. And I wonder what the “Never” number looked like for McCain, who got the nomination?
