PPP poll: Wis. Republicans prefer Ryan in 2012
Paul Ryan was the top pick among Wisconsin Republicans for the 2012 presidential race, according to the Dem firm Public Policy Polling.
In the survey, 30 percent of Republicans preferred Ryan in the race, while 17 percent backed Mike Huckabee. Newt Gingrich was next at 12 percent, Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney were at 9 percent, Ron Paul was at 5 percent, Tim Pawlenty was at 4 percent, and Mitch Daniels was at 3 percent.
With Ryan out of the mix, Huckabee led with 23 percent, followed by Gingrich and Palin (15), Romney (12), Pawlenty (10), Paul (5) and Daniels (3).
The poll of 400 usual GOP primary voters was done Feb. 24-27 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
A PPP poll from late last week found President Obama underperforming in Wisconsin against most of his possible GOP 2012 challengers compared to his 14-point win over John McCain here in 2008.
Still, he topped Ryan 49-40, Romney 48-38, Huckabee 48-41, Gingrich 51-39 and Palin 54-35.
