Mitt Romney: Is the Long Shot Candidate Making Progress?
Fans of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) might consider the latest Rasmussen Reports polling data to be a step in the right direction. Romney is now viewed favorably by 35% of American voters, up from 29% a month ago. Thirty-one percent (31%) now have an unfavorable view, down from 35% in the previous Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Still, 34% don’t know enough about Romney to have an opinion one way or the other. In the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, Romney is solidly established in fourth place behind former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Senator John McCain, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
