Quinnipac has a heavy northeast bias, so take it FWIW.

Looks like Bachmann is still headed the right direction.

Perry's vaunted electability may be overstated. His numbers vs Obama, and among independents is a little better than Palin, but not as strong as Bachmann.

50 - 38 percent over Bachmann, who was not matched against Obama June 8; 53 - 34 percent over Sarah Palin


Bachmann does better than Palin against him? Gonna be some open wrists over this today.

“Looks like Bachmann is still headed the right direction.”

Of the announced candidates she combines the most outspoken conservative positions with actual experience in Washington. Whether she is one’s candidate of choice or not, this is a good trend for conservatives.

Maybe it’s because I run in conservative circles, but I have never, nope never, heard a solitary soul express excitement over Romney. I think he is the media’s Dole or McCain.

Quinnipiac is run a big lib named Carroll. Paradoxically, his son is a rock solid conservative Republican, pro-Second Amendment, anti-tax and anti-abortion. His name is Michael Patrick Carroll and he is a state representative from New Jersey.

I was actually polled once by Quinnipiac. Its a biased poll with deliberately slanted questions which attempt to lead the respondent in the direction the pollster wants them to go.

Several things to note here:

1) Quinnapiac. 'Nuff said.

2) We're still WAY to far out for "horserace" polls to matter at all.

3) Bachmann isn't going to win anything, no matter what this poll says. Most of her total simply reflects anti-Romney sentiment, not pro-Bachmann.

4) The fact that Romney fares so poorly against Bachmann, however, is interesting. This poll says a lot more about Romney than anything else.

Rick Perry is a big government Republican. If you like the Big Government policies of G. W. Bush, then you'll absolutely LOVE Perry.

Bachmann is surging for very good reasons and Americans understand those reasons all too well. Despite the MSM and GOP attempting to shove their socialists down our throats, Bachmann is shining...and possibly shining brighter in reaction to the “elite” trying to tell voters what to do.

She is a real conservative and will repeal DeathCare and help realign America with her long-time and faithful allies in the world. She will be god for America and the world in general.

Her numbers can be explained very simply. She has gathered in the former Huckabee supporters. It’s pretty much a done deal.

Quinnipiac has a heavy northeast bias...

Yes, they are located in the Northeast, but - unlike other pollsters - they have absolutely no statement attached to these results concerning the poll's methodology. They don't even say whether all respondents were US citizens.

My guess is that whatever technique they used, they oversampled Dummycrats.

Michele Bachmann has zoomed into second place

Ed Rollins has no first place strategy.

Palin seems to be locked in a death spiral with the MSM. She will do a lot of damage to them, but be destroyed in the process.

Michelle is staying above the fray, and it seems the petty MSM attacks are bouncing off her. Indies are still impressed with her.

If she wins the nomination will ABC NEWS voluntarily and en mass sign up at the Bachmann clinic for therapy?ABC sealed my support for Bachmann with their mainstream sewage.

Whoever ends up being the GOP nominee; I hope they pick Marco Rubio as their VP. I’m sure he’d carry FL for the GOP and I still say that whoever wins FL, wins the White House.
