In Ohio Romney leads with 32% to 28% for Mike Huckabee and 26% for Sarah Palin. Romney is also at 32% in Wisconsin, followed by Palin with 27% and Huckabee with 23%.
The numbers in these two midwestern states follow the big trend we've been seeing across the country, which is that conservatives are split pretty evenly in their support between the three candidates at this point but Romney leads overall because of a wide advantage among moderates.
In Ohio Palin has the lead by two points with conservatives over Huckabee and Romney, but Romney's at 43% with moderates to 26% for Huckabee and only 15% for Palin. In Wisconsin Romney leads Palin by 3 with conservatives but widens his overall lead thanks to a double digit edge with moderates. At this (very early) point there is no clear preference among conservatives for any particular candidate, but moderates are going strongly for Romney and that's fueling these leads.
Out of the eight states we've looked at now Romney has led in 6, finished second in 1, and finished third in 1. Huckabee has led in 2, finished second in 3, and finished third in 3. Palin has finished second in 4, and finished third in 4. Here's the full breakdown:
| State | First | Second | Third |
| | Romney | Palin | Huckabee |
| | Romney | Huckabee | Palin |
| | Huckabee | Romney | Palin |
| | Romney | Palin | Huckabee |
| | Huckabee | Palin | Romney |
| | Romney | Huckabee | Palin |
| | Romney | Huckabee | Palin |
| | Romney | Palin | Huckabee |
You should do a state-by-state matchups of potential GOPers v. Obama in swing states. Would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see how Mitch Daniels, Tim Pawlenty, and Rick Santorum fare in Midwestern primary polls. These guys seem more interested than Huckabee and Palin. Huckabee seems content working for Fox. Palin is more interested in working for TLC.
ReplyDeleteThe relevant states are still IA, NH, SC, NV. Plenty of statewide and congressional races that could be piggybacked to the same poll. Why no polls in the early states?
ReplyDeleteAnyone practically is better than McCain. his rhetoric since the election proves what a disastrous Republican President he would hae been.
ReplyDeleteYou should a 2012 poll to see how much GOP votes does she "steal" from Romney & Huckabee as a Tea Party candidate.

Why don't you do a poll that pits "Ron Paul vs Each of these candidates"?
ReplyDeleteOh that's right, because you don't want to talk about Ron Paul. You want to marginalize the only honest and uncorrupted candidate with polls and the media because the government pays you better. Everyone of these three jerks don't want to actually do anything that will result in the reverse of communism masking as the "free world" and removing the mafia that goes under the cloak of the federal government. You are as big of a slime bag for taking the payday as the government you support.
WHERE IS RON PAUL?!
ReplyDeleteHe won the CPAC, GOP, and RNC Polls...and yet he isn't on the list here.
NEO-CON ALERT!
THIS POLL IS BIAS!
