This is a strange matchup to do. Both of the supposed "4th ranked candidates." Very strange indeed. Also I am not understanding how each of them polling 40% in males gives Romney an edge there, nor do I understand how Romney's 37% and RIchardson's 40% among whites give Romney an advantage. Perhaps I am reading it wrong. Could someone please clarify this for me?
Looking at the favorability numbers, things look bad for Romney. A 44% and climbing unfavorable rating isn't a good thing. His flip-flopping and religion are only going to drive that number even higher. I think his chances at the nomination are very slim.
As for Richardson, things look OK but he really needs to get his name out there somehow. With 40% of people still undecided about him, he has got to define himself before the other candidates do it for him. He desperately needs some positive media exposure. I was hoping that the North Korea trip would give him a good boost but that has largely been ignored by the media as far as I can tell. They would rather continue swooning over Obama's smile than report on a candidate who is actually negotiating world peace.
I guess they mean compared to how he does in other groups?
And Richardson does need more exposure. He'd be an excellent general election candidate.
