Romney leads as GOP prioritizes electability (Cain jumps into 2nd ahead of Palin?)
PPP ^ | 6-16-11 | PPP

Posted on 06/16/2011 1:43:39 PM PDT by Brookhaven

Romney leads our newest poll with 22% to 17% for Herman Cain, 15% for Sarah Palin, 9% for Newt Gingrich and Tim Pawlenty, 8% for Michele Bachmann, 7% for Ron Paul, and 1% for Jon Huntsman.

Romney's strength is with those voters for whom electability is the paramount concern. He gets 27% with them to 14% each for Cain and Palin and 12% for Pawlenty. With GOP partisans more concerned about ideology Romney is third at 16%, behind Cain's 22% and Palin's 18%.

If Palin doesn't run Romney's lead expands. He gets 27% to 20% for Cain, 13% for Bachmann, 12% for Gingrich, 10% for Pawlenty, 6% for Paul, and 3% for Huntsman. One piece of conventional wisdom that is true: the biggest beneficiary of Palin not running would be Bachmann. She gets 32% of the Palin supporters to 17% for Gingrich, 14% for Cain, and 13% for Romney.

“Right now voters don’t see that person.”

Yikes.....I haven’t read the rest of the thread so I hope you survived this direct and blatant assault on *Saint Sarah.

*This was a crack on the more zealous of her supporters, not the as-yet-to-be-determined-candidate.

No assault as of yet. I do like Sarah, but I do not worship any candidate or potential candidate. I have not yet heard enough details from any of them. I have ruled out a few though.

Now that we know who the GOP Elitists are running, who is the TEA Party presidential candidate?

Just say no to Mitt!

Its PPP!

Always leaning Left, always screwing up their polls by oversampling Dems or moderates or asking misleading questions.

Furthermore, it’s a phone poll.

Not the most scientific method available.

Shoot, the last PPP poll that had results for Sarah and was touted by the Sarah naysayers had Obama in positive territory with regards to his favorability. That is how skewed the PPP is.

I have said this before...ROmney will be the GOP nominee. The establishment will expect us to take it (Romney) or take it some more (Obama).

Cain’s not doing too bad for a guy with far less name-recognition than Mitt Romney, and these early polls especially favor the high ID candidates.

I would like to nominate “Punditutes” as the new word of the year.
