Potential GOP Candidates Unpopular In Home States
Posted Jun 14, 2011 at 9:58 AM by Maurice Berger
A new survey by Public Policy Polling reports that virtually all of the potential GOP candidates for president remain unpopular in their home states: "We've done polls in Massachusetts and Minnesota over the last couple
weeks and found that Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, and Michele Bachmann are
all unpopular in their home states. That's par for the course with
this GOP Presidential field- we've polled on 9 of the candidates or
potential candidates in their home states and only one of them is well
liked- Gary Johnson in New Mexico."
Here's PPP's chart, from most popular to least popular:
