guys again I think you are missing the point of the poll. It was a wide ranging poll on various issues, but with regards to the GOP 2012 they were testing if people could name someone they support. The real result is that only half of them could. I think that is interesting. I would like to see a national poll that did the same. I think other polls are overstating the 'support' for these candidates based mostly on name recognition.

This isn't a hard concept, guys. They asked an open-ended question, "Who would you vote for?" and let the people submit names themselves. It's a really interesting idea in that it shows how closely or not people are following the race (note the 9% for "Others").
I hear you but why would they poll Petraeus instead of Huntsman?
