Two major polls from NBC and ABC show the same thing: Mitt Romney’s favorability has dropped dramatically over the course of the Republican primary. In one poll, among independents, 51% don’t view him favorably while just 23% do. That is mind-blowingly bad. Sarah Palin bad. Dan Quayle bad. Jack the Ripper bad.
