Who May Run Against President Obama in 2012?

Friday, October 15, 2010

Do you think that President Obama will run for re-election? I believe that he will, but do we know now who may run against him?

Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin are the clear leaders of the 2012 Republican presidential primary field, according to a new Gallup poll out last week.

Thirteen Republicans received support in the survey, demonstrating the wide open nature of the field, but Romney and Palin were the only potential candidates to earn more than 15 percent in the poll, with Mike Huckabee trailing not far behind.


The three former governors were the only candidates to receive more than 10 percent, with Romney receiving 19 percent, Palin getting 16 percent and Huckabee at 12 percent.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich came in fourth in the poll, getting 9 percent.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) was the only other potential candidate in the field to get more than 5 percent, receiving 7 percent in the poll.

Both Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour each got 3 percent in the poll.

Behind Pawlenty and Barbour were former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson.

The survey of 906 Republicans was conducted Sept. 25-26 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
