Poll: Even Republicans Say Limbaugh, Gingrich And Cheney Speak For GOP — But No One Names Palin!

Poll: Even Republicans Say Limbaugh, Gingrich And Cheney Speak For GOP — But No One Names Palin!

You can already hear the high-fives over at the Democratic National Committee.

A new poll from Gallup strongly suggests that the Dem strategy of painting Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, and Newt Gingrich as the faces of the GOP — in order to cast the party as hidebound and lacking in new ideas and leaders — appears to be dovetailing very neatly with reality. Even among Republicans.

The poll finds that when national adults are asked who is leading the Republican Party, the names most often cited are Limbaugh and Cheney, with Gingrich and John McCain tied for third. Meanwhile, a majority — 51% — had no opinion or said no one.

And check this out: Even Republicans and Republican leaners agree that these are their leaders, with more of them citing Limbaugh, Gingrich and Cheney as speaking for the party than anybody else. Click to enlarge:



Also note that 43% of Republicans and leaners — nearly half — had no opinion or named no one as speaking for the party. You couldn’t ask for clearer evidence of the leadership crisis the party is facing right now.

The fact that the three most often cited as speaking for the party are male, white, old, and extremely conservative also underscores the challenge the party will face in shaking off its image as, well, male, white, old, and extremely conservative.

One other interesting tidbit: There’s one Republican who would perhaps like to be seen as speaking for the party more than anyone else right now. And she wasn’t named at all by either national adults or Republicans and Republican leaners, even though she was on the national ticket less than a year ago.

kid in school that was called on and didn't do her homework.

:spray:

Let's see...

She lives in Alaska.

Doesn't attend many political functions in the lower 48.

Her own Republicans in the state legislature despise her.

How many of their State Lincoln Log dinners has she attended or scheduled to attend?

But no one finds her coherent as she mangles every sentence to a bloody pulp and actually appears to contradict herself in the same breath. If asked what she just said, most are stumped which makes her eminently un-quotable except to us who love these qualifications in her. When your enemy takes to quoting you and laughing it just doesn't make you look like a smart leader.

.... some thanks also goes to the press and Rush Limbaugh. ;)

Get that man a louder mic!!! lol
