President 2012 President Poll Watch: In GOP Mike Huckabee Most Liked and Sarah Palin Most Known

January 10, 2011 /


Kind of an interesting poll, but it does not really does not say more than what the CW is at this point.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has the highest net favorable score among Republicans nationwide in a field of potential GOP candidates for 2012, while former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the most recognized. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney are also widely recognized by Republicans, and have favorability numbers similar to Palin’s.

If Sarah Palin runs for President, Mike Huckabee will not because he will not be able to raise the money early in order to compete with Mitt Romney’s fortune. Same goes for Newt.

Should Sarah Palin decline to run, then they both will be in and the race may be open enough for a Mitch Daniels to come in as a newcomer.
