Last week, Rasmussen Reports polled Republicans on their favorite candidates for the 2012 presidential nomination and came up with Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Tim Pawlenty in that order. This time, Rasmussen tested one-on-one match-ups and found Palin badly trailing both Huckabee and Romney.

Huckabee leads Palin 55 percent to 35 percent with 10 percent undecided and Romney beats her 52 percent to 37 percent with 11 percent undecided. The poll was conducted Oct. 15.

A Rasmussen poll released Saturday had Huckabee leading Romney 44 percent to 39 percent with 17 percent undecided.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
