Unlike Conservative Critics, GOP Base Has Favorable View of Mitt Romney

While some high profile conservatives activists have problems with Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee, for the most part the Republican base claims to like him as well as or better than his rivals. From Gallup:

Total Favorable and Unfavorable Ratings of Republican Presidential Candidates, January 2012

If a large segment of the Republican base held unfavorable views about Romney, or if the Republican base viewed an alternative candidate significantly more favorably, it is conceivable Romney could be in trouble despite his early wins and large lead among GOP candidates in national polls.

As it currently stands, however, Romney appears on a glide path to quickly clinch the nomination, and the Republican base is mostly okay with that.

As long as Romney remains broadly acceptable to the Republican base, I simply don?t see how any of the other candidates stands a chance of stopping the strong momentum Romney currently has.
