“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie leads a hypothetical field of contenders for the Presidential nomination among Republican voters, and is the only Republican tested who leads President Barack Obama among all voters, while Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney are tied, says a new Zogby Interactive poll.”
Of the following, which Republican would you vote for in 2012 for President if they are on the ballot?
| Candidates | Republican
Voters |
| Chris Christie | 27% |
| Mitt Romney | 17% |
| Sarah Palin | 16% |
| Mike Huckabee | 14% |
| Mitch Daniels | 5% |
| Tim Pawlenty | 2% |
| John Thune | 2% |
| Not sure/Other | 18% |
At this point in time, polls like this primarily reflect name recognition. I wouldn't get too excited about it.
