President 2012 GOP West Virginia Poll Watch: Mike Huckabee is OK – Others Not So Much
West Virginia’s one of the most conservative states in the country. But even there voters don’t like any of the leading Republican candidates for President, with the exception of Mike Huckabee. It’s yet another sign that the current front runners have limited appeal and that the party might be better off with someone else emerging from the pack of currently second tier candidates as their nominee next year.
The favorability vs. unfavorable index:
- Mike Huckabee – 48% Vs. 27%
- Mitt Romney – 34% Vs. 37%
- Sarah Palin – 41% Vs. 47%
- Newt Gingrich – 33%Vs. 43%
But, President Obama does not do so well either – 34% Vs. 58%.
Maybe this is why there are rumblings in the blogosphere about Jim DeMint and John Huntsnman today.
There may be more who will consider a Presidential run – even Mike Huckabee.
