Rasmussen just released a poll looking at GOP hopefuls in 2012:

After that, GOP primary voters list former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (14%), while Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty each received one percent (1%) of the vote. Six percent (6%) prefer some other candidate.

(Emphasis added.)

Either they have heard of the bang-up job he’s doing in Mississippi, or they see right through that aww-shucks smile he puts on for the national media.
