Thursday, May 31, 2012
Mitt Romney may have clinched the Republican nomination this week, but most voters aren't happy with the choices they now face in this year's presidential election.
Just 19% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Romney and President Obama are the two best people running for the presidency. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 64% don't believe they're the best possible nominees. Seventeen percent (17%) are undecided.
