Swampland —
Gallup has new numbers out today, testing the 2012 GOP waters. Polls this early in an election cycle are in no way predictive of eventual results, but they are telling for other reasons. At the very least, we now know that Sarah Palin's up-and-quit spectacle of the last couple weeks has not hurt her much among GOP voters. As the pollsters explain: While Palin trails [Mitt] Romney in the current candidate preference test, she leads both him and [Mike] Huckabee in terms of their respective favorable ratings among Republicans. Currently, 72% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents have a favorable opinion of Palin, compared with 56% for Romney and 59% for ...

Here's how each poll breaks down. Gallup, July 16--candidate "most likely to support for the 2012 Republican nomination," asked of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents: Mitt Romney: 26% Sarah Palin: 21% Mike ...

Pollsters, Put Ron Paul In
The Atlantic Politics Channel —
The political world can't stop speculating on the next presidential race, but as it continues to daydream about 2012 it should include room for U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R). Two surveys [here and here] this month of Republican voters sought to size up the potential GOP field but did not include Paul.
