I haven't peeked yet, but how is C4P handling this? so many folks over there adore Rassmussen, this must be crushing.

Doug,

It will be interesting to hear the Palinite's Spin.

Maybe, "It could have been worse. At least it's not 50%."

Amazing. Romney's favorable rating is 20-25 points higher in this poll than it is in almost any other GOP primary poll I've seen. How did they do that?

Maybe they took their thumb off the scales? ;-)

Like a reverse PPP New Jersey maneuver.
