Poll: Some Voters Still Fear ACORN
Politico reports:
Fear of ACORN stealing elections runs so deep in GOP circles that a quarter of Republicans still believe the group will “steal the election” in 2012 — even now that it's been a year since the organization folded.
A new survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling found that 25 percent of the Republican primary voters nationwide think the defunct community organizing group will try to “steal” votes for Democrats. Just 43 percent believe ACORN will not be able to swing votes and 32 percent are not sure.
Among Republicans who believe ACORN is still a threat in 2012, Sarah Palin is the favored presidential candidate — getting 20 percent of the their support. Newt Gingrich comes second among the ACORN-fearing, getting 19 percent, following by Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney with 16 percent apiece.
