President 2012 Florida Poll Watch: Huckabee 23% Vs. Romney 21% Vs. Gingrich 18% Vs. Palin 13% Vs. Paul 8%

The latest from Democratic Pollster PPP.

The race for president is similarly jumbled-up. Mike Huckabee barely edges Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, 23-21-18, with Sarah Palin at 13%, Ron Paul at 8%, Tim Pawlenty at 4%, Mitch Daniels at 2%, John Thune at 1%, and 10% undecided. Romney tops with moderates over Huckabee and Gingrich, 25-23-15, but they make up only a quarter of the votes. The 70% who call themselves conservative break down very similarly to the overall electorate.

Interesting about Sarah Palin that William Kristol of the Weekly Standard is ponticifating that Palin will NOT run in 2012 but will support a candidate and continue to be a force in the GOP – but out of office for now.

Again, I think Sarah could win the GOP nomination but struggle against President Obama in the fall general election. Unless, Obama’s polling is severely in the dumpster, Sarah will keep her powder dry, run for U.S. Senate from Alaska in 2014 or simply wait for political opportunities while racking in the media big bucks.
