Even amongst Republicans, each of them have high negative numbers. Not sure exactly what it means, but on the surface, it concerns me.
Don't look at only the "Yes" or "No" answers. Pay close attention to the percentages of "Don't know yet" and the "Never Heard Of Them" answers.
The question is, basically, "Would this person make a good spouse?"
When a candidates has a high percentage of "Don't Know Yet" or "Never Heard Of Them", that means that the candidate has just left home to pick up his blind date or has just finished his first date.
Apart from the voters that are already willing to marry him, Perry also has 44% of all voters that he can wine and dine and woo to the altar.
Obama, by contrast, is already in a marriage, going on three years. In this marriage, 31% would marry Obama again, 23% are thinking about running off with the UPS guy and 46% of all voters are saying to him, "I DEFINITELY want a divorce!"
Perry, as the new suiter, has the advantage.
