A just released Public Policy Polling survey in New Hampshire reports that Mitt Romney continues to lead the GOP
presidential primary with 25%. The news is that the second placed candidate, Michele Bachmann, has surged in recent weeks, and now stands at 18%. Sarah
Palin comes in at 11%, Ron Paul at 9%, Rick Perry and Herman Cain at 7%, John
Huntsman and Tim Pawlenty at 6% and Newt Gingrich at 4%. According to PPP: "Bachmann's surge in New Hampshire is being built on the
back of the Tea Party. Among voters identifying themselves as members of
that movement she's leading the way at 25% with Palin and Romney tying
for second at 16%, and Cain also placing in double digits at 11%."

Good news for Mitt Romney in the year's first Des Moines Register Iowa Poll on the Republican presidential field. While pundits have wondered whether Romney may be consrrvative enough to win the GOP Iowa Caucus, which tilts towards social conservatives, the poll has Romney in the lead at 23%. The bad news for the former Massachusetts Governor is that Michele Bachmann is nearly tied with him at 22% among likely Republican
caucus-goers. They are followed by Herman Cain at 10%, Newt Gingrich and
Ron Paul at 7%, Tim Pawlenty at 6%, Rick Santorum at 4% and Jon
Huntsman at 2%.

A new Field Poll in California reports: Mitt Romney "holds a solid lead over his
2012 GOP presidential rivals among the state's Republican voters . . . Romney is preferred by 25 percent of registered GOP voters, giving
the former Massachusetts governor a double-digit lead over each of his
challengers. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, viewed as Romney's
leading competitor for the nomination, barely registered in the poll,
earning just 3 percent support . . .
Romney's closest competition comes from two candidates who haven't
even joined the race to deny Democratic President Obama a second term:
former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (17 percent), and former Alaska
Gov. Sarah Palin (10 percent). If Giuliani is taken out of the field,
Romney's lead widens - to 30 percent and a more than 2-to-1 lead over
Palin at 12 percent in second position, the poll shows."

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."

Two GOP Minnesota politicians are considering a race for president in 2012: Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Gov. Tim Pawlenty. What do the people of the state think about this. A new Public Policy Polling survey reports that Minnesota voters are, at best, cool to the idea: "Only 28% think Pawlenty should seek the White
House to 17% who think he should run for the Senate and 45% who think he
shouldn't run for anything. There's even less interest in a Bachmann
Presidential run -- 14% think she should seek that office to 23% who
think she should run for the Senate, 10% who think she should run for
reelection to her House seat, and 47% who just want her to go away."
