Sure, polls for 2008 are mostly based on name recognition at this point, but even so, it seems like former governor Mitt Romney has a lot of catching up to do in North Carolina. A recent survey by Public Policy Polling of Raleigh has him at a distant fourth in the Tar Heel State. (via Political Wire)
| Rudy Giuliani | 30% |
| Newt Gingrich | 29% |
| John McCain | 22% |
| Mitt Romney | 6% |
| All Others | 13% |
That's a little unfair, though, because it's been South Carolina that Romney's been paying attention to, not North Carolina, after all. So, how's Mitt doing there? ARG did a poll in mid-December of South Carolina Republicans.
| McCain | 35% |
| Giuliani | 28% |
| Gingrich | 15% |
| Romney | 5% |
| Huckabee | 1% |
| Undecided | 16% |
Ouch. It looks like all those trips to Spartanburg have yet to pay off for the former Gov.
