McClatchy-Marist Poll: Mitt Romney on top of GOP


.......Two candidates scored 2 percent each: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who announced his candidacy last week and is trying to position himself as a moderate-conservative alternative to Romney. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum got 1 percent, while former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson and political activist Fred Karger each had less than 1 percent. 15 percent were undecided.....
The survey included 801 registered voters, with 308 Republicans or GOP-leaning independents. The error margin was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for registered voters and plus or minus 5.5 percentage points for questions asked only of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

I would value your poll if it was declared candidates. With Palin, Giuliani and Perry in places 2,3,4 it is meaningless. At least 2 of them are NOT running

Wow, that's a lot who will definitely not vote for Obama! My guess is even that number is under-representative and people don't say what they think cus of fears of being typecast as a racist.

If the poll shows anything, it's squishy support for the non-Romney candidates who are ALREADY IN!

wish they would poll for second choice as well. Pretty sure that Guiliani and Palin are not going to run. Perry is down to 30% in my book from being up to 65% just a week or so ago. The longer it goes by, the harder it will be for anyone to get in.

Presuming the bulk of Guiliani goes to Mitt and the others are split evenly then you get a pretty hefty romney lead
