Only 2% of Republicans See Rush as Their "Leader"

Rasmussen is out with a new poll indicating that rank-and-file Republicans feel leaderless.

Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Republican voters say their party has no clear leader, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Another 17% are undecided.

Just five percent (5%) view either John McCain, the GOP's unsuccessful 2008 presidential candidate, or new party chairman Michael Steele as the party's leader.

Two percent (2%) see conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh in that role, and one percent (1%) name McCain's running mate, Alaska Govenror Sarah Palin. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader John Boehner are each seen as GOP leader by less than one-half of one percent.

I love that, just 2% of Republicans see Rush as their "leader," while just 1% see Sarah Palin that way. Meanwhile, two-thirds of Democrats know EXACTLY who their leader is - Barack Obama.

Of course, here in Virginia, Republicans know EXACTLY who their leader is. That would be Jeff...no Bill...no Bob...no Ken...no Jim...no, I dunno. :)
