GOP Poll Numbers

A USA Today/Gallup poll finds that Governor Rick Perry is more popular among Republicans and independents who lean GOP. Meanwhile former Governor Mitt Romney is more popular among true independents and has the better chance of beating President Obama among all registered voters.

A truly interesting finding is the following, which bodes ill for the Perry candidacy:
In the poll, 53% say they would prefer the nominee with the best chance of beating Obama; 43% say they want the candidate who agrees with them on almost all issues.
The bottom line for most voters is that we need a new president, even if he is less-than-perfect. This is 2008 revisited.
