The liberal Public Policy Polling surveyed 1,253 registered voters Dec. 4-7 and asked a bunch of political questions. It is releasing the results in batches.
Today’s release looked at the possible 2012 presidential match-ups.
It is way too early for that, but pollsters are the political paparazzi. We all hate them but look at their snapshots anyway.
President Obama topped Mike Huckabee 46-45, Mitt Romney 47-42, Sarah Palin 50-44 and Tim Pawlenty 48-35.
Among Democrats, 15% preferred Palin over Obama. To be fair, 12% of Republicans preferred Obama over Palin.
Huckabee did as well as Palin among Democrats, but with Huckabee’s clemency to Maurice Clemmons, who later murdered 4 police officers, he no longer seems to be a viable presidential candidate.
The poll also showed that 4% of the people who voted for Obama in 2008 said they will vote for Palin in 2012.
The Gazette has posted my Saturday column a little early. I won’t complain. Guess what it is on…
