If GOP Candidates Can't Make It Here, They Can't Make It Anywhere
It's hard to see populist, wacky GOP candidates making much progress nationally if they can't get any traction in Arizona.
A poll of 623 Arizona voters released today reflects a couple things -- almost nobody likes Donald Trump, and most people would prefer Sarah Palin not move here.In the poll -- from Public Policy Polling -- opinions are recorded about possible GOP nominees for the 2012 presidential election, and how they'd vote if they ran against President Barack Obama.
Donald Trump was the most unfavorable of five possible GOP candidates -- with a full 2/3 of people dissin' the Donald with an "unfavorable" ranking.
Remember that whole thing about former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin moving to Arizona for a possible Senate campaign?
Most people would prefer that not happen.
Palin was the second-most-disliked candidate -- with 62 percent having unfavorable opinions -- and a later question revealed 57 percent of people would prefer that she not move to Arizona.
Trump also suffered the biggest blowout in a hypothetical match-up against Obama, garnering votes from only 36 percent of respondents.
