Via Greg Sargent, the Rasmussen Reports poll on 2012 Republican candidates finds most Republican voters trusting Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) on national security and former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) on the economy. Another item from the poll: the possible candidates that have been getting a lot of friendly coverage are less popular than media punching bags Palin and Dick Cheney. Look at the seven potential candidates and their favorable/unfavorable ratings.
Mike Huckabee – 78/19
Sarah Palin – 76/21
Mitt Romney – 73/19
Newt Gingrich – 65/29
Dick Cheney – 59/34
Tim Pawlenty – 38/35
Haley Barbour – 34/37
Both Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) and Gov. Haley Barbour (R-Miss.), beltway favorites who the political press sees as fresh faces for 2012, are less popular among Republicans than Dick Cheney. I’ve asked Scott Rasmussen why he thinks this is and will update when he responds.

Come on! It's July of 2009, most republicans don't know who Barbour and Pawlenty are. It's much too early for this nonsense, though I am a Mitt man myself

That is weird… What the devil did Tim Pawlenty ever do to generate such a poor favorable/unfavorable ratio? If this is an accurate representation of GOP thinking then it is clear that there is no correlation between their gut feelings and reality.

P.S. Romney is the best of those listed. His past shows that at least he understands economics.

I lived in Arkansas for many years. It has a long history of corruption in the Governors office and Huckabee was no different. He got to be Gov. by default. He sounds good but he is nothing more than a typical tax and spend liberal, smooth talking “jive turkey”. Like Obama, he will do or say anything to get elected.

He might be getting trashed for his spending eight months working to prevent his state from having the duly elected Al Franken represent them. He destroyed his own states right to he representation they chose.

Please Republican National Committee. Don't try to out-Democrat the Democrats? You are the political party of conservatives. The Democrats are the political party of big government, affirmative action liberals.
