Results of SurveyUSA Election Poll #19048

On Eve of State Caucuses, Romney Overwhelmingly Seen by Washington State Republicans as Having Best Chance to Defeat Obama:

Washington State Republicans by 5:1 say economic issues are more important to them than social issues, say Mitt Romney is the best Republican to tackle the nation's economy, and as a result, see Mitt Romney overwhelmingly as the Republican best able to defeat Barack Obama in November, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for KING-TV in Seattle on the eve of the state caucuses.

Two questions get directly at Romney's perceived strength:

* One asks (Republicans only) who they would vote for in an election today. Romney defeats Santorum 38% to 24%.

* The other asks Republicans which Republican has the best chance of defeating Obama. There, Romney gets 50% to Rick Santorum's 18% and Newt Gingrich's 12%.

Romney voters are 3:1 happy with the field of Republican candidates. By contrast, half of those who back Santorum say they would like to see another candidate enter the race.

Romney is not seen as the most able to identify with ordinary people - that's Santorum - but Romney is seen, narrowly, as the most trustworthy.

* Romney has a Plus 27 Net Favorability rating.
* Santorum has a Plus 15 Net Favorability rating.
* Gingrich has a Minus 7 Net Favorability rating.
* Ron Paul has a Minus 12 Net Favorability rating.

Cell phone and home phone respondents included in this research: SurveyUSA interviewed 1,793 Washington state adults 0/29/12 through 03/01/12. Of them, 500 identified themselves as being Republicans registered to vote in Washington. This research was conducted using blended sample, mixed mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone were shown a questionnaire on their smartphone, tablet, laptop or other electronic device.
