Marist/McClatchy: Governor Palin is Now Tied With Mitt Romney. If She Declares She Wins

Further to the RCP aggregate poll that shows Palin gaining 8 points on president Obama in just over six weeks and the McClatchy poll released yesterday showing Palin within 5 points of the president we now see this poll.

In addition to the fact that she wins the same percentage of the vote against Obama as Mitt Romney does, she’s now tied with Romney in the GOP horserace (this poll was taken right after 9/11, so Rudy probably got a bounce):

Perry 20%

Rudy 14%

Palin 13%

Romney 13%

Bachmann 6%

Gingrich 6%

Paul 4%

Cain 4%

Santorum 2%

Huntsman 2%
