Survey: One-Third of GOP Voters Want Another Candidate

By Newsroom America Staff at 25 Jan 2012

(Newsroom America) -- The race for the Republican presidential nomination has been billed by pundits as a two-man contest, but a new survey shows that at least one-third of all GOP voters would like to see another candidate jump into the fray.

A new Rasmussen Reports poll, released Wednesday, found that 34 percent of GOP voters "think it would be good for Republicans if another candidate entered the race for the party’s presidential nomination."

Nearly as many, however - 31 percent - say it would be harmful to the party, while 24 percent say it would have no impact.
