Donald Trump and Sarah Palin may be media darlings but a new poll shows 60 percent of American voters would just say no to a GOP Presidential ticket that featured either as a 2012 candidate for President.
“Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are in the best shape. Sarah Palin and Donald Trump suffer from the reality that, as our mothers told us, ‘You never get a second chance to make a first impression,’” Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute told Reuters.
The poll included 613 Republican and independent Republican-leaning voters and showed Romney as favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination with 18 percent, followed by Huckabee and Palin with 15 percent and Trump with 12 percent.
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels and former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich came in far behind with 5 percent, while former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann trailed even lower with 4 percent.
Twice failed Presidential candidate Ron Paul? Not even a blip on the screen. Same for his son, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
