Huffington Post: Roper Poll finds GOP enthsuiasm gap for presidential candidtes

 Mayhem plagues the GOP in 2012

A Roper Poll was conducted May 5-9 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It interviewed 1,001 adults nationwide and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.

In 2012 candidate perceptions are clearly different  for the GOP.

In May 2007, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found Republicans were generally satisfied with their choices: 68 percent said they were satisfied with "the choice of candidates for the Republican nomination for president" . . .

Today 45 percent now say they're dissatisfied with the GOP candidates who have declared or are serious about running. This is a big jump up from 33 percent two months ago, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll.

Just 41 percent are satisfied with the likely Republican field, down from 52 percent.

These polls suggest many Republicans will not show up for the 2012 elections.  Rightardia suspects a traditional country club Republican like Mitt Romney will be the GOP candidate, a slap in the face to the fast fading tea party.

A Gallup Poll found that half of Republicans would like to join a new political party. Only one in three Democrats hold similar sentiments.
