THE LATEST POLL RESULTS

And the winner is....none of the above!

I have emphasized the candidates who are truly running at this time so far as I know.  This is supposed to be the shorted poll by Gallup but they still have several names of folk who are questionable and/or are not running at all.

It simply demonstrates that there's still a lot of doubt about the current contenders amongst Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

What I found really interesting was another aspect of this poll which showed that College-educated responders and regular church-goers leaned heavily towards Romney while non-church-goers and less educated responders leaned towards Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, and Newt Gingrich.
