Voters See Romney As Leader of GOP, Boehner Second (Rush Limbaugh, Ron Paul, Congress)

[dixiegirl7]

Mitt Romney is now seen as the leader of the Republican Party, and no one else is even close.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey gave Likely U.S. Voters the names of eight well-known Republicans, including the four finalists for the party’s presidential nomination, and asked which was the leader of the GOP. Twenty-six percent (26%) said Romney, with House Speaker John Boehner second at 13%. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Good, let's stop hearing about how Rush Limbaugh is the leader of our party. I swear, I have never met a Republican who thinks that!

1 out of 4? That's a ringing endorsement if ever I saw one! Anyway, Wall Street is the leader of the Republican party. Romney is a puppet and a tool.

Rush isn't a Republican or you just haven't met him?

I see Romney as the CEO who stands on stage in the company auditorium telling the work-force they should be loyal to the company and the company will be loyal to them while his assistants sit in the corner suite finalizing the paperwork to lay-off 40% of the work-force while sending themselves to Pebble Beach for 'meetings', don't forget your clubs.

hmmm...

I'm not sure the dittohead faction would agree.

Sounds about right -- the current nominee apparent, followed by the current single leader of a House of Congress.

Romney at 26%, Boehner at 13%?

Hmmmm.... that leaves 61% going somewhere else.

Too bad Rasmussen hides the details from non-subscribers.

That leaves 61% going to the 6 people who finished 3rd through 8th.

Here are the details. They gave quite a few choices to choose from...some sort of silly choices IMO, but that accounts for the percentages being so spread. Romney overwhelmingy got the largest percentage.

Is the leader of the Republican Party Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, John Boehner, Rush Limbaugh, Paul Ryan, Sarah Palin or someone else?

• Romney — 26%
• Boehner — 13%
• Paul — 7%
• Limbaugh — 7%
• Santorum — 6%
• Gingrich — 4%
• Ryan — 4%
• Palin — 2%
• Other — 17%
• Undecided — 14%

Here are the results of the same question to just Republicans:

• Romney — 27%
• Boehner — 14%
• Santorum — 12%
• Gingrich — 6%
• Paul — 5%
• Limbaugh — 4% or less
• Ryan — 4% or less
• Palin — 4% or less
• Other/Undec — 25%
